Well, 2019 was a big year for my knife purchases. Now it’s time to let some go. All very nice knives, I’m just trying to keep my collection to a reasonable size that (mostly) fits in my block.
For now, shipping only offered to U.S. addresses. Knives will be shipped through USPS military/diplomatic mail, and will take roughly a week and a half to reach you.
The following knives are offered. All prices include U.S. shipping and PayPal fees. Actual measurements included.
296mm Masamoto KK (White #2 steel) Yanagiba with Anton Kudris (Icanhzchzbrgr) handle.
I had talked myself into the justification for buying a yanagi, but then decided I can get by with my suji. BNIB, knife has never touched food or stones. I was going to rehandle this knife with this gorgeous handle made by Anton. I believe it’s made of maple burl, with nicely marbled horn ferrule and butt cap, nickel silver spacers. Super comfortable heart-shaped (hybrid octagonal/oval) handle.
Heel to tip length: 296mm
Heel height: 36mm
Weight: 226g
Asking $400 for the knife and handle, would prefer to sell together. Comes in original box, with ho wood saya.
217mm Yu Kurosaki Shizuku Gyuto, SG2/R2 steel, western micarta handle.
The best-looking knife I own. Super comfortable, nicely curved western handle that looks and feels great. I’m the second owner, previous owner used to prep one meal. I used it lightly. Never sharpened. This one’s a bit small for my taste, and I have a couple other in almost the same size, so I’m letting this one go. I think this is about a year old. Kurosaki now seems to make his knives thinner than he did a few years ago. Great cutter and in-hand feel.
Heel to tip length: 217mm
Heel height: 50mm
Weight: 187g
Asking $350. Comes in original box.
152mm Mazaki Stainless Petty, ginsanko core steel, d-shaped ho and horn handle
Very light use from previous owner, I only used this for a few test cuts. Received as part of a trade package to make up a difference in trade value. I’ve decided my Watanabe/Takamura petty combo takes care of my needs in this size.
Heel to tip length: 152mm
Heel height: 34mm
Weight: 85g
Asking $160, comes in original box.
