WTB Japanese buy list

[TomMartell]

I’m looking for the following BNIB or lightly used:

Hitohira Kikuchiyo x Kyuzo Ginsan Gyuto 240mm

Takada no Hamono Ginsan Nakiri 180mm or 210mm

Takada no Hamono Aogami Gyuto 240mm (ideally taller profile)

Sugi x Fujiwara x Myojin Gyuto - these were a limited release on Sugi. I can’t remember if they did a 240mm drop as well as the 210; would prefer 240 if they exist but would be quite happy with either.

Manaka ENN Yanagiba 300 or 330

Kato std 240 Gyuto, ideally heel 52mm+

And I'm hunting long term for:

Tsukasa Hinoura River Jump 240

Kaiju 240

If anyone has any leads on these please let me know!

@JPAU has an Izo Ginsan for sale on BST.

There’s also a B2 Suiboku on BST if you’re willing to pretend your USD are actually CAD for a day.

 

[JPAU]

Not sure that a TNK AS exists but if it does, someone please tell me!

I’ll message you about the Izo.

I’m not sure if AS exists either; saw a post somewhere about one so I added it. I just placed a custom order with Takada and he said he is not currently offering AS. I didn’t ask if he ever did.

Is that B2 Suiboku still up? I looked and couldn’t find it (or get it to come up in search). I might have been too slow?

It’s gone, I think Dave was referring to this one with the significant second hand Market mark up : https://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/threads/takada-no-hamono-gyuto-240-suiboku-ao-1.73922/

Yep that was it. It was still available when I posted but it sold in silence, I guess.

Takeda NAS Gyuto Medium (240-260) and Large (300mm+)

Sending you a PM

 

[TomMartell]

Someone must have picked up an extra Takeda from the Carbon drop that they can part with… right?

Updated list a bit with my grail hunts and removed a few I picked up.
