[Baungaard3003]

Hello friends
As the title says, I’m looking to trade a Jiro gyuto for a Jiro gyuto.

Want to trade a Jiro Wa gyuto 240 mm #067 Old profile for a new profile Yo gyuto
(The blade has been sharpened by Tetogi in DK and is ready for use, but due to bad storage conditions it has gotten some “pitting” on the blade - see pics.

sizes I’m looking for is 225 or 240 mm
Condition, used is okay but as new as possible

Located in Denmark therefore looking within EU at the moment.

Bump

now not only looking inside the EU nobody wants a “special Jiro”?

Bump- still looking for a trade
Maybe the time isn’t right, maybe my post doesn’t follow the forum etiquette, maybe nobody wants a special early Jiro with the old profile?

Maybe a lot…. As mentioned above, still looking but going to admit defeat and withdraw on Friday, if no response

I think the pitting and the knife being older (Jiro has certainly evolved for the better as he has produced another 500+ knives) are the reasons why people are not lining up to trade with you. There is also a certain irony that you are looking for something "as new as possible" when yours doesn't really fit that description. Not a critique here but since you posed the question I figured I'd offer some insight. GLWT!

Good points- words can be tricky, especially if English isn’t your native language by “as new as possible” I don’t mean BNIB, but basically “not broken”- I know Jiro has evolved a lot, therefore (I thought) this was a “collector’s item”- but yeah… good points- my biggest concern was.. “does I trick some of the famous red flags, as a new member” so I guess I didn’t thought about your points.. embarrassing

Just going to withdraw…

Trades are difficult for anyone so dont be too hard on yourself. Just keep your eyes open and try to develop some relationships here on KKF and the knives have a way on finding their way to you
