Two great knives that somehow haven't found a permanent spot in my core set. Not in a big hurry to get rid of either of these but open to a swap for the right knife.
Konosuke Fujiyama cleaver
Recently picked up from BST in new and unused condition, used for 3-4 meal preps and has not touched stone or strop. Myojin grind, Y Tanaka aogami, Fujiyama finish, and the purest literal fall-through-food cutter I've tried... but at over half a kilo it's a little too heavy for me. Looking to trade for a similar quality Japanese or Western cleaver/chuka/really big nakiri in a lighter weight class, ideally in the neighborhood of 350-400g. Trade value $500.
220mm edge length, 109-110mm height, 4mm spine out of the handle, 536g.
Dalman x Bjorn Birgersson gyuto
Got in trade here a while back in lightly used condition, have used quite a bit at home and touched up on high grit stones but no full sharpening. Top notch cutter with serious blade height. Steel is BB's silver steel warikomi. This has rotated in and out of my daily drivers but it's a little lighter than I prefer in this size. Trade value $470.
237mm edge length, 58mm heel, 3.2mm spine above the heel, 196g.
