WTS Ikeda White #3 270mm Honyaki Gyuto

[ashy2classy]

Description
Picked this up from Bernal during their spring sale. Love the knife and steel, but it's a tad too short for me. Used lightly a few times and never sharpened. Blade is OIL quenched.

NOTE: In the second photo there is a small smudge in the front of the blade. It is not a scratch.

I assume he meant at the heel. Either way, gorgeous knife.

Totally SICK knife! If I had unlimited funds then I'd buy it just to see it in person! GLWS

I think it's just the angle of the shot.

Beautiful knife!

$725 for the weekend. Monday it goes back to $750.

I'd totally buy it but I got one at the same time too. Got 210, 240, and a 270 now.

I have a 240 one and it looks even nicer after removing the coating. GLWS.

 

[ashy2classy]

Back to $750. If it doesn't sell soon I'll just keep it.

SOLD.

@labor of love I'm sad, too. I really like the knife, but I'm enjoying my Mizuno 270 honyaki and, as you know, I have some customs coming from Ikeda in 4-48 months LOL! Regardless, I might regret letting this go, especially at this price.
