SOLD Kiyoshi Kato Kurouchi (Morihei)

[ZeeVee]

Happy Tuesday KKF,

I'd like to offer an unused Kiyoshi Kato Kurouchi gyuto up for trade. The only reason it is not listed as "Brand New In Box" is because the previous owner removed the handle with the intention of having it rehandled, but never got around to it. The handle is currently friction fit, but is not perfectly aligned. I have included pictures which I think illustrate this.

Steel: Aogami #2
Edge Length: 232mm
Height @ Heel: 52mm
Weight: 238g
Trade Value: $1,900
It also has an ebony saya that would come with it.


Looking for:

Yanick
Milan
The Nine

If nothing comes through within maybe a week, it might be up for sale.

Thanks for looking, and have a great day KKF!

Kato knives with Ho wood handles are such a classic look! I wouldn't change a thing. Those handles are also super beefy and comfortable.
