I picked this one up a year ago from this thread:
https://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/...nga-210-wa-gyuto-stainless.36048/#post-537137
The previous owner had not sharpened the knife. I have sharpened it two times during the year that I have had it, and have used some 2000 grit sandpaper once to remove surface scratches. The Gesshin logo on the back is slightly faded because of the sandpaper, see pictures.
It's a dream to use. It's incredibly easy to sharpen for stainless (as other people have noted previously on this forum) and retains a usable edge for a LONG time, due to how thin it is. I'm just selling it so that I can continue to try new things. Comes with a JKI saya, and original box.
Weight: 108g
Heel height: 42mm
Heel to tip: 200mm, and see picture.
Balance point indicated below.
$150 shipped CONUS (it's worth more IMO, but gotta pay it forward since I got it for $165)
Retails for $245 and is sold out at the moment. Here’s the link at JKI:
