Hello!
I would like to sell my Hitohira Kikuchiyo Kyuzo 240 mm gyuto. I purchased this November 2021 from Carbon Knife Co. Shortly after this purchase I was unexpectedly able to land a few harder to find items (Jiro, Raquin, Tetsujin) and now I am trying to liquidate what I can from my collection to cover those purchases. I used this knife once for a cut test consisting of onions, carrots and celery. It is is very thin behind the edge but has a thicker spine and feels more like a middleweight with forward balance. It is a wide bevel knife with a crisp shinogi line that Kyuzo is well known for. Kikuchiyo is highly regarded for his treatment of ginsan. If you're looking for a great stainless middleweight this is a good option.
Specs:
Edge Length: 228 mm
Height at heel: 50 mm
Weight: 201 grams
Steel: Ginsan/Silver 3, stainless clad
Finish/grind: Tsuchime, wide bevel
Handle: Ho wood, buffalo horn ferrule
There is a gentle taper along the spine, where the tsuchime finish ends is where taper really kicks leading to a very fine tip (this is difficult to see in the spine shot)
Retails for $380 at CNC
Asking$340 $320 shipped/insured in US
