SOLD Jiro, Fujiyama, Raquin, PRICE DROP HHH, Nakagawa, Tetsujin, Shinkiro, Hatsukokoro, Pie

[Tler]

I need to retroactively fund a purchase and then hopefully raise enough to fund another purchase...disciplined I am not.
I would also love to trade for a Kamon if someone has one they're looking to part with. Because of this, I'll wait a day or so before selling, but feel free to message me for when I do sell them.

Notes:

Raquin was acquired in a trade (I traded two $600 knives) and I was told that a tiny bit of the tip was missing from poor shipping from france. Tip was repaired but sadly it's now 254mm in length so the length, weight, and height aren't 255, 255, 55. I want to like this since it's my first wrought clad, but my hunt for a wrought keeper continues.

Update:

Tler is a professional. You won't linger in DM. Nice and fair to deal with.

Many thanks, @ModRQC! Same back at you, but pretty sure everyone knows that already.

How is that Tetsujin still sitting here?

beats me. maybe everyone has one already

 

[Arkman]

I just received one of the knives from this drop. It was in great condition and shipped out very quickly. Tler was a pleasure to deal with and I would happily purchase from him again!

Price drops:

SOLD Tetsujin kasumi 270 Blue 2	262 x 53.5	280	new	430->400

SOLD takahiro nihei hatsukokoro shinkiro AS 240	251 x 50	205	new	280->260

 

[ModRQC]

I’d add to the Tetsujin that I’m fairly surprised the Shinkiro still dwells here as well. I mean I put the Tetsujin being a 270mm possibly a longer acquisition but that 240 Shinkiro has been hitting KKF’s fairest grounds of a quality blade to a very decent price.

 

[Tler]

shinkiro sold

 

[Tler]

updated price drops. trying to move these along

 

[Tler]

three more additions. these last three must be purchased with another knife from above.

name	dimensions	weight (g)	condition	price
SOLD jiro tsuchime wa sujihiki 210 taihei tagayasan w1 #482	211 x 44	182	new	850
SOLD konosuke fujiyama morihiro yanagiba 270 white1	261 x 32	170	used	400
SOLD deba white 2	152 x 47 x 7	240	used	30

notes:
the fujiyama has two low spots circled in red. took the pictures just now in the late afternoon and couldn't easily show it. They are shallow enough to be easily worked out, but I prefer to use my knives and work out the low spots as I use/sharpen rather than have a perfect bevel but then lose some micrometers of steel. for full transparency, it's believed to be white #1, but I've got no proof.

the deba has plenty of pitting as I'm sure you can see, just thought I should mention it in writing as well.

 

[ModRQC]

Oh my God this is the Neverending BST. Just to say that you ought to buy with confidence until it never ends.

 

[Tler]

I've got an upcoming sizeable purchase, so I gotta keep purging until I can cover the cost.

also, to answer another question, the Jiro was $850 all in after the fees from kitchentools in Singapore: Jiro Tsuchime Wa Sujihiki 210mm Taihei Tagayasan Handle (#482)

 

[Tler]

fujiyama, jiro and yoake SOLD

 

[JMeen]

Jiro just arrived! Tler was awesome to deal with and package arrived quickly.
++ Rep!!

 

[Tler]

last call on the tetsujin before i sell it locally.

price drop on the HHH: $800

here are more photos of the HHH that aren't as distorted

 

[Tler]

tetsujin and deba are sold.

only the HHH left

 

[Tler]

bump.

Buy the HHH and get the shapton stones I'm selling for free (shapton pro 320, glass 500, 1000, & 8000)

 

[ModRQC]

That’s so unfair…

But also so totally legit and generous.

Thing is that HHH is totally legit also. Someone really needs to end this WTS.

 

[Tler]

big price drop: $700 for the HHH or $750 for the HHH and stone set

 

[xsmx13]

Holy jeebus this is tempting.
