Originally purchased from: JapaneseKnifeImports- Kagekiyo Ginsan 270mm w/Saya
"Funds needed to cover Kemandi's Bulat custom. Of course if I don't like the custom, I'll post to sell. Keep an eye out for it!
I would like to get this to sell quickly. Paid $650USD, I want to give this up for $525USD $420USD PayPal and Ship Included CONUS. Canada and Hawaii, I pay $15 you pay the rest, message me, you usually pay depending on the quote it gives, $20-40USD estimate. Anything further, get in touch.
**I will accept fund offers as long its fair, No trade.No I won't be doing price drop(came to an understanding). This Kagekiyo Ginsan is worth it's default price. It's that good of a knife.
About this knife;
It is considered Brand new/Like new. I have removed blade's lacquer. I have used it on Mirepoix, twice. Quick history: I used to own a few Kagekiyos, Blue #1, White #1 from years ago, to few years, to recent, and newest latest batch. Blue #1 and White #1 from a year or 2 ago, I had were delicate at edge, TOO THIN. I put those knives up on here to those whom likes THIN edge with good spine thickness. Kagekiyo has gone thru a few changes based on my experience. Fast forward to current; in my opinion, this Kagekiyo Ginsan which is the latest batch from JKI, is really solid! Not too thin, but is thin enough to withstand workhorse environments. You will not be disappointed! I have touched up on Tsuchima. The edge is sharp ever since. I know most worry about it being 270mm, to me, this is not the case. It still feels like a solid 240mm. A solid knife that gives you complete confident while it being stainless and durable. Perfect for Thanksgiving dinner! If you like to know more, please message me, I'll do my best to answer!
**Note: Nshida is a chef himself. He's a craftsman for Kagekiyo currently. He's always improving and I think so far, this latest batch is his best work. **
