I'm preparing to put away my knives for the summer, but I first wanted to see if anyone wants to save me some time packing up a few of the nicer but less frequently used ones. The buyer will also be saving themselves quite a bit of time knife-hunting. :)

I've listed my purchase price for each piece for transparency. Unless I get silly offers, I won't be selling them individually (or probably even as partial bundles) for now because I don't have time to box up half a dozen knives for different people. Not to mention, for obvious reasons, I'm still also kind of hemming and hawing about which of these I really want to part with.

Priority will be given if you want to take my Ikimurasaki as well, so I'll let this listing float for a few days. I'll be withdrawing this listing until after the summer if it hasn't sold by the end of the weekend.

Sale price: $5999 / Trade value: $5445 SOLD

Sale price includes PP G&S fees. Trade value reflects my actual purchase price.

Either way, fully insured/tracked CONUS shipping is included. If you’re outside CONUS, PM and we can discuss.

Mainly looking to sell. Trade interests are listed in the spoiler below – note that I'll only be considering CONUS trades for now:

  • 240-275 wrought-clad Apex Ultra mid-weight (~1g/mm) by Heldqvist, Hangler, Huber, RDG, JB, Radiona Breg, Maillet, Krichbaum, Lucid, Verissimo, etc. Will be fairly picky about the handle. Prefer full tang western or hidden tang wa. Usually don’t like damascus.
  • Anything Laseur in stainless (ideally RWL34)
  • Anything Mario or Martell or Bazes
  • Gesshin Heiji 210 sujihiki in semi-stainless
  • Konosuke Sanjo SKD 180 petty

Tip of the hat to Bico Doce and Brian Weekley.

Would love to buy the kipp s grind nakiri if you don't mind selling it separately
 
Just looked closer and realized that was the Nakiri I had. Thought it looked familiar lol

It was completely unused by me but it felt great and I’m sure it cuts like a dream. the line on the handle was there.
