Withdrawn HVB, Takada, Toyama, Wakui, Nigara, Yu Kurosaki, Miura/Tanaka

[Ocicat]

Here are some great knives up for sale. All are brand new and unused, or lightly used but touched up by professionals and not used since. If it says "brand new," it's never even done a test cut - only taken out of box for photographs. I've withdrawn my nakiri sale post from a couple of weeks ago and rolled the remaining knives into this post at a reduced price.

Price includes CONUS shipping. Please inquire about int'l. Photos will be posted below.

If I didn't already have one, I'd be all over that Wakui. Love that knife. GLWS!

Very nice selection of great value knives!

That Kurosaki nakiri is VERY thin behind the edge. I was sitting at a table and a carrot just fell apart while I looked at it…I think it was shaking too.

The Kurosaki nakiri is really tempting… how much do you think it would cost to ship to the EU ?
