SOLD James Oatley 220mm & Teruyasu Fujiwara Denka 210

[Tler]

catch and releases.

Oatley 220 in scanvic 12c27 asking/trade value $600:
edge length: 215mm
heel height: 57mm
thickness out of handle: 2mm
thickness in the middle: 2mm
thickness near tip where kurouchi ends: 1.5mm

I originally asked James Oatley on Instagram if he remembers what steel he used for this one and he replied, "$2000" and then "scanvic 12 c27"


Denka 210 aogami super asking/trade value $550:
edge length: 214mm
heel height: 54mm
thickness over heel: 2.64mm
thickness in the middle: 2.2mm
thickness near tip where kurouchi ends: 2.4mm (yes, this denka tapers in the middle and then gets thicker again before thinning at the very tip. I don't recall the denka I'm keeping being quite as bad, but I do recall the tip being thicker than the average knife and therefore required quite a bit of thinning).
patina on the core and a few rust spots on the spine from the previous owner.

If you're interested in buying one of these with the tatsuo ikeda yanagiba I also have for sale, I'll take nearly two hundred off
