Hey KKF,
I bought this Heldqvist from @preizzo last October because I wanted a chance to polish it. I'm a big fan of Tobias work and own several gyutos from him but I am not an integral man so now that I have accomplished what I wanted to do and I'm going to release it back into the wild.
This knife does have a righty bias. It may work for a lefty but after spending way too much time looking at these bevels it is easy to see the left side is flatter than the right. Because of the integral bolster the choil shot is very misleading so I didnt include one.
Asking for what I paid plus shipping (polish rate of $1/hour discounted!!). Willing to ship anywhere in the world
$800 plus shipping
