SOLD Hado Junpaku 240mm Urushi handle

[jedy617]

Hey guys I have a nice one, this is a 240mm junpaku, Tanaka forged white 1 stainless clad. Great size on this one. 235x54mm, 2.7mm spine, 177g weight. It's a laser beam, ground very thin. I have a lot of Y. Tanakas so have to let at least 1 go. Ironically this is the best cutting one, probably equal to my Takada so that's saying something, and I love the half urushi handle, it's a gorgeous dark red. Has some patina and some light marks mainly from storage. Been used sparingly. Never sharpened.

The urushi handle version is harder to find, I don't think any shop has a 240 for sale. Usually they are in Europe for around 500. I'll start by asking $425. Thanks

Funny, I was going through the same range of emotions with this knife here as well.

I have one of these in 210 and it is one of my best cutters. Used it to prep breakfast this morning and remain super impressed. Fit and finish is up there. Actually reminds me a lot of my Tanaka x Kyuzo but at a significant discount.

If it gets too much cheaper I'll have to grab it to complete the duo.

I also have one in 210mm and can confirm that it's a great cutter. I reach for it a lot.
