SOLD Like, uh... Knives I guess... [Bidinger / Raquin / Devin / Adonis]

[ZeeVee]

Hello members of Kitchen Knife Anonymous... er Forums,

My name is ZeeVee and I'm a kitchen knife addict. It's been two days since my last knife purchase.

Kidding, kidding... kind of.

I don't want to let any of the following go, except maybe the Adonis (and even that I find very beautiful and almost convince myself to keep it every now and again), but my collection has ballooned to rather stupid numbers (in my opinion).

Up for grabs are the following:

Bidinger Convex 259 x 64 -- $1,000 SOLD
Bryan Raquin Butcher 238 x 52 -- $915 SOLD
Devin Thomas Bubblewrap 238 x 54 -- $1,800 SOLD
Adonis Forged Arts C-Grind 222 x 55 -- $500 WITHDRAWN

I really don't know how much interest these will garner, but this won't be first come, first served. I will give priority to those that wish to buy multiple of these knives (and especially the Adonis).

Prices include Paypal G&S fees, as well as shipping and insurance to continental US. 3% discount available for feeless payment options Willing to ship international, but shipping costs beyond $15 would be passed on to the buyer. We can discuss in DMs.

I will do follow up posts with details on each knife.

I will start responding to inquiries and offers tomorrow.

Incredible cutter. Up there with Xerxes, Kamon and Kippington in terms of pure cutting performance. Beautiful distal taper, and that choil... I haven't seen many more gorgeous than that. What more is there to say.

I seem to have misplaced my choil shot for the DT, I'll edit the post tonight when I find it.

This baby cuts as good as she looks. That is all.

This really is a pretty great deal. Antoine's work isn't getting any cheaper, and the blade itself performs well. It has excellent food release properties.

Sweet baby Jesus….

That bidinger is just awesome.

 

[daddy yo yo]

PM'd about Bidinger.

Wow. Bidinger and DT both look amazing. Lots of action on BST these days. Rader, Kamon, DT, Yanick, and Bidinger all in a couple days. Don’t see that too often.

 

[ashy2classy]

WOWSA! Wish I could afford that DT!

PM'd about Bidinger.

Thanks for saving my wallet, his work is just art

I have a similar Raquin butcher knife, and I can't say enough good things about it. The only time I pull out a Dexter or even Mac is when I'm concerned about the possibility of chipping the edge on a bone. Having a superior edge for that kind of work is a huge boon, and the shape is just right.

 

[ZeeVee]

Bidinger and DT are sold. Raquin butcher is SPF. The Adonis lives to slice another day.

It's time for the dreaded BUNDLE. I'll be posting a separate thread later on today or tomorrow. It's gonna be a Raquin Full Kasumi, the Adonis and a Nine x Migoto honesuki/petty. Feel free to DM if you wanna get a jump on it.

 

[ZeeVee]

And Raquin is sold.
