SOLD Gesshin Ginga Stainless 180mm Gyuto [AUS to World]

[NameAlreadyTaken]

Originally purchased from Jon and the great team at JKI, this is a really great small gyuto or large petty, but I find myself reaching for either taller gyutos or shorter pettys now, so I'm making some room for a couple of Gesshin Ginga stainless pettys that should be arriving soon.
The fine grained Swedish stainless (AEB-L?) takes a great edge. The Ginga profile is very thin and light, and Jon's fit and finish specification is really lovely.
It has been used and sharpened. I've done a sandpaper progression on it to blend in any scuff marks from stones near the edge.
I've fully rounded and polished the spine / choil, just for added comfort.
This is quite a useful board knife, and will make someone very happy.

The stats:
Maker: Ashi Hamono for the house Gesshin brand of JKI
Line: Ginga
Steel: Swedish stainless
Grind: thin / laser
Weight: 89g
Overall length: approx 315mm
Edge length: approx 170mm
Blade length: approx 181mm
Heel height: approx 38mm
Balance point, on the neck just behind the choil

Let's say USD$180 including PayPal fees and international shipping. Any Aussies, hit me up on PM to enquire about discounted shipping.

I'm not in a rush, just ping me if you've got any questions, or if I've forgotten anything.

Everyone should try a Ginga once in their life. This is a great low maintenance way to try out the thin grind.

Nice price. 180's can be very, very handy. I love them and think more people should give them a shot.

GLWS.
