Hello, got 2 more knives coming in so I need to get rid of at least one that doesn't see much use.
This is a 225mm K-tip gyuto, stainless clad blue 1, forged by Y. Tanaka, and sharpened by Myojin, under Sakai Kikumori brand. This is one Tanaka's best knives imo. Definitely a great blend of weight, ease of cutting, and food release, especially for a Japanese knife (and extra especially one from Sakai). Sharpened once, didn't come very sharp, and never thinned.
Has ebony handle, horn ferrule.
There are some stray scratches/scuffs, which I've tried to highlight, but the knife is in great condition, just aesthetic scratches. It's been used in a home setting for ~5ish meals, pretty light use overall.
Length: ~211-212mm
Height at heel: 52.5mm
Weight: 222g
Spine thickness at handle: 3mm
Spine thickness middle: 2.5mm
Spine thickness ~1cm from tip: .7mm
Asking $400 375 350 335 315 300 including shipping to US. Happy to ship international and will include the first $15 of shipping.
Don't really want trades as I'm trying to downsize
Thanks!
