SOLD (LAST) PRICE DROP Robin Dalman 216mm HSS1 Powder Monosteel S-Grind Gyuto w/Curly Maple

[Greenbriel]

Happy Thanksgiving KKF’ers! I am thankful to have a bunch of weirdos like you who understand this odd obsession! This is going to be the final reduction on this one.

—-

Purchased a few months ago from @DF18 here on BST for $675. I'm looking for $650 $625 $600 incl. shipping, fees, insurance. Will ship in the wooden kiribox in the photos.

Here's David's original WTS post with more photos and a nice video: SOLD - Dalman 210 HSS1 Rainbowed for your pleasure

And here's Robin on the steel:

High speed powder metallurgy monosteel. This is a "super edge holder" steel I'm very happy with to offer knives in. Noone else that I know uses this steel in kitchen knives. Somewhere in between stainless and not, it will patina but slowly.

Here are my measurements:

Weight: 218g
Length: 216mm
Height 60mm
Spine: 4.2mm -> 3.8mm -> 1mm


I have used it perhaps half a dozen times. Silly sharp and holds an edge like crazy. I have lightly touched it up and that must have taken care of the minute tip issue that David spoke of because you can't see or feel anything. Food release is excellent, as you'd expect from this grind. Superb F&F with eased choil and rounded spine that add to the comfort in use.

This metal patinas unusually. I thought I had somehow caused waterspots but I reached out to Robin and he said:

The waterspots are probably patina. It's not a stainless steel but ~halfway there so it takes patina in a bit strange way/greys kindof. You should be able to remove it with flitz, but I havent tried that product, I usually use autosol, but I believe they're similar. The tempercolor should be able to come off like that too. It's a light oxidation layer.

There is one small spot where the temper color has come off. If I were going to keep this one I would probably remove the tempercolor. It's pretty but seems a bit finicky. I figure I'll leave that to the buyer.

All around a fantastic, functional, and beautiful knife. Superbly balanced and the tapered octagonal curly maple handle is gorgeous and comfortable. Thanks for looking, any questions, ask away.

This should go quickly. I've got the same knife and still one of my favourites. Patinas oddly like this one but not very reactive at all overall. GLWS!

Thanks guys. Yeah, I'm going to miss this one for sure. Unfortunately I need cash more than knives right now, and this beauty doesn't get the use it deserves.

 

[Greenbriel]

Price reduction to $625.

Last price drop before I keep this great knife, Happy Thanksgiving (Americans )!

Damn, this is a steal from a stand up seller..

Somebody save me from spending my car note on this..

 

[timebard]

Argh, someone put us out of our misery and take away the temptation...

 

[Greenbriel]

Is it because Xmas is coming up? I have two great deals up and interest but no bites!

 

[Greenbriel]

$600 for a Dalman S-Grind that I paid $675 for, anyone?

This is a great deal for a gorgeous knife, yall! Treat yo self. (Or maybe a Christmas gift for someone you like a whooooole lot haha)

 

[Greenbriel]

OK folks, I really could use the cash here but I have two very tempting offers to trade for (coincidentally both) Dalman/BB collabs. If nobody takes this by tomorrow I'll be making one of those trades.

 

[Greenbriel]

This one is SPF (ended up not doing a trade, need cash more than more knives)! Appreciate the offers though!

 

[Greenbriel]

And SOLD! Thanks KKF!
