Well I did it again. Couple ‘things’ came up, and now I need to move a few more knives out to make some room. This gets harder every time. I do not want to sell any of these. So please don’t dm me, it will break my heart. 😆

For your consideration-

Kagekiyo B1 210 gyuto, first gen from JKI
This one I purchased from Jon when he was still in Venice (iirc??) probably 8 years ago. This was from the first of the lacquered black series that he received, still intact with saya and crazy black box. Used a few times over the years and cleaned up by him about 4 years ago, stored since because I purchased like 126 knives since. 205/46/3.8 Purchased for 625 (fkn ca taxes) and selling for you fine people at 525 shipped conus.

Next up is a Tanaka Gokujyo 225 W1 gyuto from Sakai Kikumori by way of Razorsharp. New, with saya and box, ebony handle. Basically a Fuji clone on a weightlifting program. Bought two at the same time and can say unequivocally that this knife out preformed my OG fuji. 217/51/3.5/200g Have a peak at my IG and see it in action. Really meant to keep this one as I sold the other and the gent who bought it really enjoys rubbing it in how good that knife is. 475$ to your door if you’re in the lower 48.

Next up is a Heiji 165 SS petty purchased from JKI 8 years ago at the old Venice location. With saya- sadly can’t find the original box.Used a few times through the years, still in terrific shape, spent more time on the road in the bag than on the boards sadly. 155ish/30/3ish. I don’t recall what I paid for this at all. How does 250 sound? I’ll accept reasonable offers as well.

Lastly, I have a one-off Kagekiyo custom 225 suji that I’ll put up as a last resort. But let’s see how this goes first. Sorry for the subpar pics, dm with any questions, happy to answer. Thanks for your time:)

Great looking knives. Just one note - the three dots on the Heiji means it's his semi stainless steel.

Which is awesome because his SS is crazy easy to sharpen and holds an edge forever.

Thanks man- it’s been so long I didn’t even remember. I adjusted price and info to reflect. I have no idea what it worth but I remember what I paid.
