Hey KKF,
I would like to offer up my Simon Krichbaum gyuto that I got direct from the man himself. I received this just a few weeks ago and I have been really impressed with Simon's work. This knife feels very similar to some of my favorite Heldqvists. It has a great mid weight feel to it and Simon did a very impressive job on the polish. The bevels are just primed for jnats and the handle is a take down construction so if you're into polishing this might be your jam. This wasn't a custom so the profile height is just a bit high for me but I will definitely try to grab another from him in the future.
Asking what I paid - $915 shipped conus (international I will kick in $20 for shipping you pay the rest)
Notes: Balance right at pinch grip, comes with tool to remove handle
Size: 240 x 60 mm
Spine at heel: 4.5 mm
Weight: 254 grams
Steel: Apexultra/wrought iron nickel
Finish: Nashiji, stone finished bevel
Handle: Wa take down in two tone blackwood
Geometry: Slight convex
Condition: Never sharpened
