SOLD JNS Munetoshi (Uchigumori Polished + Rounded Spine / Choil) 240 Gyuto

[bearhippo]

Specs:

240mm blade length
51mm heel height
200 grams
3.5mm above the heel => 1mm near the spine.

I'd like to keep this but recently picked up a Morihei FF 240 after missing my old one and am looking to reduce redundancy in what I have.

Awesome knife and I can definitely understand why Munetoshi is so well-regarded in these parts.

The knife came as is from JNS with a uchigumori polish and a rounded spine + choil.

IMO this is the way to go if you want a nicer Munetoshi (i.e. finer F&F) but don't care about the novelty (or don't want to pay 2X) for the bloomery iron line.

Paid $295 at the time, asking $275 shipped CONUS.

I have the 210 version of this knife and can definitely recommend it. Maksim thins them just a bit and the little bit of shoulder that was there is gone and what you have is an absolute cutting monster. Then Maksim rounds the spine and choil and polishes the whole blade. It is a fantastic package that made me look at my more expensive knives with a raised eyebrow.
