I had this up earlier as part of bundle, now offered for individual sale. Knife is untouched since I last posted it up, so using the same pics and description
$800 $525 CAD shipped Canada/ConUS (including Paypal G&S). Canadians we can discuss payment methods as well as pick-up if you're in the GTA.
219x49, 167g.
Important point 1 - note the length. This is slightly short even for a Sakai 240. I didn't realize that until a month after I bought it and measured it. In hindsight, the pricing was a bit lower than most 240s for the line, so I should've guessed something was up.
Important point 2 - It is my opinion that this is ground left biased (you can see this on the choil shot). That said, this had a very right hand ground choil, to the point that it was sharp against the hand in a left handed pinch. I softened that using a dremel and a sanding drum, but it is still pretty right biased on the choil.
Been touched up a few times in the near year that I've had this knife. Might have had a few strokes on a 1K at one point, but mostly 3K+. There is a scratch on the left side of the knife where it had slipped against the stone in one session (best pic I can grab at the moment is below).
Very nice knife, used on and off for the year that I've had it, but just has really gelled with me like some others so it's going to move on.
The scratch on the left side - that mark goes up in the damascus, but I can't catch the entire thing in the light I've got right now. You can see it if you look closely (at least on the monitor I'm on right now shows it up)

I’m sure it’d be gone otherwise
