Withdrawn Hitohira Togashi 180mm White #1 SS Cleaver & Morihei TF 135mm Fine Finish Petty

[bearhippo]

Togashi 180mm White #1 SS Cleaver:

Great little (?) workhorse with good heat treat, selling as SS isn't my cup of tea (prefer iron clad).
Used a handful of times and stropped once but never sharpened.

Paid ~$420 USD, asking $380 $360 $350 USD shipped CONUS.

Morihei TF 135mm Fine Finish Petty:

Purchased from ProTooling about a month ago but ended up realizing my preference is towards a 150mm petty or small gyuto (IMO this is really only suited for peeling/small-detailed tasks).
Used once to make a Korean fruit salad side dish.
Has not been sharpened or stropped.
Minimal wabi-sabi (see attached video when it was new); the handle area is flush barring a few marks that I'm not 100% sure how to describe.

Paid ~$300 USD, asking $280 $260 $250 USD shipped CONUS.

For anyone who was previously interested in the Konosuke Vintage Carbon, thank you for the offers; it is off the market for now.

Unrelated/somewhat related post to clear up any possible confusion.

It was probably about a tad more than a month ago when I was accused of being a banned forum member here? With that being said, I have hashed things out with Dave and was cleared per the image below.

If you doubt the validity of said image, I’m sure any one of the admins would be happy to verify as they were all linked in the same private message thread. I will refrain from commenting further as the whole situation has brought about plenty of unwanted hassle that I’d prefer to move on from.

With that being said, I’d like to note the following:

* I only take G&S per PayPal’s terms (e.g. shipment to confirmed address on the account) and ship all packages fully insured so that both I and you (the buyer) are covered.
* If you’d like to verify the item upon receipt, feel free to check in-person at your local UPS/USPS/FedEx or to video the opening. On that same thread, I am happy to provide specific timestamps upon request for authentication before shipment as well. (E.g. if you want a picture of an apple and a pear next to the knife then feel free to ask; that is, pending availability of said fruits in my arsenal.)

Bit of a premature bump compared to the usual => both dropped $20 from my original asking price for the holidays.

Bump Bump.

Bump, final price drop on the Togashi Mini Cleaver before I consider keeping it around. Togashi Mini Cleaver off the market for now, "migrating" the TF petty to another current thread.
