Up for sale is a Hinoura 240mm gyuto, stainless clad aogomi super. This is an older knife, with the hammered KU finish that is now usually only found on the white steel variant. I think this was purchased from the now defunct Buttermilk Supply. This knife has a beautiful custom handle with a marbled horn ferrule and dark wood handle (not sure of the wood but it looks a bit like cocobolo or ebony/blackwood). The knife also comes with a saya and pin. The grind is excellent, typical of Hinoura, super thin behind the edge and good distal taper. The Hinoura heat treat of aogomi super is great, edge holds forever. Knife has been used only rarely, sharpened once.
