SOLD (EU) Yoshikane SKD 240 gyuto

[Jovidah]

On offer, my lightly used Yoshikane SKD 240 gyuto. It's from Knives & Stones with their teak handle & saya, but I'm not sure if the kanji is the original Yoshi kanji or Hatsukokoro (they've sold both, but they always made it clear they were identical). I gave it a few shots but it's one of those knives that just won't really 'click' with me so I'd like to pass it on in hopes it finds a better home.

It has some patina (the SKD is clearly semi-stainless), and has seen 1 proper sharpening and 2 high-grit touch-ups. Never any thinning; I think it'll be a while before it needs it.
Attached some of my horrible phone pictures; if there's any desire for better pictures or any questions let me know.

Preferably selling to someone near the Netherlands so shipping cost doesn't escalate too much.
I'm asking 275 euros.

That's the Hatsukokoro kanji.

A non-EU buyer voiced interest. Since all the cost of importing to the EU has already been paid on this knife I'd prefer to keep it within the EU. This offer still stands until monday morning ; otherwise it'll go to the non-EU buyer.
