SOLD Kochi 240 Gyuto KU V2

[Danejah]

Selling my very lightly used 240 Kochi that I purchased new from JKI. I believe this is a fairly well known and loved knife here in the forum so I’ll keep it short. I really love this knife but it’s time to move on and make some room. I’ve always taken great care of it and never been thinned. I did use Flitz on the cladding once fairly recently but that’s it. No chips or cracks. Happy to answer any questions and provide more details if needed. This will be my first sale on the forum(gotta start somewhere) but I have been a member a few years.Asking $225 and I’ll cover $20 of the shipping to the USA

It might be blurry, but I’d be carful about posting a pic with your license plate exposed. Anyway, nice knife

Not much I suppose, just general safety for a public forum that anyone with internet can access

I am a bit surprised but I think they were just in stock recently or are about to be. Does anyone know if the kochi line has changed much over time? I bought this maybe 5 years ago or so and it just never really got much use but wonder if it is much different from the current offering.

I've personally had 3x kochi ku 240. Each one was excellent. This is less than the cost of a new standard wakui.

Yep they just restocked 210s and other shapes, and Jon told me they will for sure be getting more 240s. He just wasn't 100% sure when they will come in. But if he wasn't getting more soon, I would be all over this!

One person I trust said their new 210 is thicker at the spine than their old 210, but I know Jon tends to ask his makers to go thinner when possible, so I would bet that is due to natural variations, rather than an intentional change to the line of blades.
