SOLD Jiro #19 Western Handle 150mm White #1 Petty

[Ryzie]

You read that right, Jiro #19, but I will say right away that this is for the collectors at a collectors price, I’m sure some will scoff at the price but I don’t mind holding onto it and just wanted to get it out there at the price I would be willing to see it go for. DM for any additional pictures or questions, it’s been very lightly used and mostly kept in the box the past 4 years.

Again I know this price is pretty high but I am asking $2,000 for it. I will cover the shipping cost of USPS priority mail In the domestic USA.

I’m keeping #6, #32, #45 and #108 for myself, plus I got a heat treated blank, the broken first attempt at #45, and a unfinished 240 gyuto that’s tang broke but I turned into a small santoku by grinding down some of the heel to fit into a handle haha

Could we please get a choil shot on the gyuto you turned into a santoku?

It was basically a unground 240 blank with no tang and I did the grinding myself as well as the reshaping to give it a tang again
