Hi all, I got this a few months ago from a fellow form member and I'm looking to let it go for another maker. It's a great knife but as much as I love it I just don't use/reach for gyotos over 220. The steel is 1.2519 and the handle is ebony. It has only been used three times by me and never sharpened and came in great condition from the original owner. Light patina and there's a little scuff on the handle you can see in one picture. I purchased it for $1,100 and am looking for a trade or trade +/- cash. I'm looking mainly for gyotos under 220mm but open to see what people are willing to offer. Makers I'm interested in are Yanick, The 9nine, Milan Gravier, and Catchside. Thanks! Have a great weekend!!
