OK, so about a year ago I went on a real knife bender and spent a pile of money here. I had to stop coming around, because it was costing me too much! In that time, most of the knives I've collected have just sat in the box, and I'm not a big fan of having money tied up in toys not getting used, so I'm listing some of them. This one was the most expensive purchase I made, I paid $1400 for it. It is a perfect example of a Kato 240mm workhorse- tall and heavy. Specs are as follows, as provided by the prior owner:
Weight - 308g
Length - 247mm (heel to tip)
Height - 52mm at heel
Handle is a Duy Pham, knife was finger polished by Fourty Ounce. I never cut a thing with it, but the knife was sold to me used and does have some patina, as seen in the pics. I'm looking to get my money back out of it, though I'll take the loss on shipping and on the paypal fees. $1400 shipped! Pics from when I bought it, I will take "updated" pics by request but the knife has sat in the box since purchase, it hasn't changed.

Where's the balance point? Did the seller tell you what wood was used for the handle?
 
I just asked on the handle, will report back when I know. Balanced on my finger here:
