SOLD Good cutters have been sold

[False_Cast]

The sales continue and now I'm getting down to some favorites. These knives are used with patina but geometry is sound. Don't let the prices fool you, these are really good kitchen tools. Prices are shipped in the US via USPS Priority. US sales only, please.

1. Pair of western handled monos. Brands unknown but I believe they were made by Takahashi for retail rebrand. Both have differential hardening lines, gyuto's is easier to see but the petty has one too. Gyuto is 182g, 250x49.5mm. Petty is 68g and 180x26.5mm. These are thin with a slight righty bias. Good hard steel. Takes a great edge. I have two more alleged Takahashi gyutos that I am keeping and they're great in the kitchen. Thinner than any western handled monos that I've found and cut great. Nice on the stones too. $135 SOLD


2. Unknown vintage nakiri. 136g, approximately 140x50mm (see measurements in link). Purchased from @refcast here: https://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/threads/135mm-kurouchi-blue-steel-nakiri.71347/#post-1102973
I liked it so much I sent it to JKI for a toasted keyaki and buffalo horn handle (hence the price increase but I'm not making money on this). JKI's handle is fantastic. I can't describe it better than the above but it's one of the must fun little knives I've ever owned. Will regret this one. $119 SOLD


3. CCK 1302. 294g, 215x95mm. Original owner. I sanded and oiled the handle. Some patina. Sharpened a few times. Took out some of the belt grind marks with a high grit stone but no major thinning. Already thin! Takes a sharp edge, fast. $45 SOLD

Helluva deal.

The blue steel nakiri, the steel is insane. People say okubo and tf are super hard but this feels harder. Harder than Watanabe and takagi honyaki. Arguably harder than denka steel. Maybe tied with biggerson but more wear resistant while retaining Japanese style ht aggression.

My Takagi takes an insane edge. Now that I’ve thinned it (not a pretty job, but it unlocked the performance tucked away in that blade) it is a favorite.
