Withdrawn First Honyaki Gyuto

[JakobE]

Hello folks,
After trying over 25 knives in the last 3 years I felt like digging deeper in the rabbit hole.
Next week I‘m turning 25, so what is a better present for myself than a Honyaki Gyuto.
Budget ~1500$
Measurements should be:
+225mm length
+50mm height
+230g

For the first Honyaki please a japanese with no western handle.

Haven‘t tried Shirogami 3 so don‘t know how good or bad it performs.
Preferred with Mount Fuji but I consider every nice hamon.
Thank you in advance.

@jedy617 is good to deal with, second this.

Thanks guys. Only honyaki I have listed right now is the isasmedjan blue 2. But I think it's one of the finest honyakis around regardless of price. The hamon is nuts for a blue 2. Will make a super great cutter.

I've got a legit Shiraki up at a little more than half budget.... outta what is likely the best shop in the world.
Just sayin'

Sorry, forgot to mention, please no western handle.

check out migoto. the only bad news, you gotta wait.

Another great option is to contact Evan at Strata. He’s been super helpful for a bunch of us in procuring special orders, and aside impeccable service, speedy results. If you’re looking to Goldilocks it, you may as well get exactly what you want.

I don't know if you belong to the "Japanese Made Knives: Cutlery and Conversation" Facebook group but on also on instagram @knifedxb has some honyaki for sale. I have bought 4 knives from Bons and he is awesome. You can DM him about what he has in stock. I wish I could afford the ones he offered to me but alas no money at the moment

Will check that, last time we wrote he had only 47mm heel height ones.

Oh! You might be right. I missed the part where you specified the height, my mistake.

Yeah, the ones he has are more KS style so they tend to not have a lot of height.

Good luck!
