WTS Masamoto KS

[tylerleach]

Hello everyone! Selling my Masamoto KS 240 (which is actually a 250ish)

I’m sure everyone here knows the details of this knife but just a few things about it for those that don’t:
-Monosteel (not clad), Shirogami #2 Carbon steel
-Originally modeled after the French Sabatier style knife
-Magnolia wood handle with Blonde Buffalo Horn Ferrule
-Cutting edge length: 255mm
-Total Length: 405mm
-Blade Thickness: 2.8mm
-Blade Height: 49mm
-Handle Length: 138mm
-Total Weight: 176g

This one in particular has been used 8 or so times, all at home. It has been stropped on leather as well as sharpened on SG stones… mostly just touchups but one full progression as well. The knife has a beautiful patina on it, obviously since it is one solid piece of Hitachi White#2 carbon steel, it is very reactive. No scratches, issues, repairs, etc.

Comes with (and originally came with) an awesome Saya made specifically for the knife. Fits like a glove, honestly one of my favorite sayas!

It’s a fantastic knife and I would honestly keep it, but I have purchased many new toys lately and I have to let some things go!

I paid $450 for it, asking $300. CONUS preferred but if you are outside of CONUS and are super interested please message me.
