Withdrawn Masashi and Mcusta

[steelforfood]

Recently have some unexpected costs coming up and looking to move a couple knives to help with them. I had decided to keep these knives, but despite being great knives they have sat unused. Would love to see them find a home and be used.

The individual prices are listed by the respective knife, if you buy both I'll sweeten the deal and make it 475 including CONUS shipping for both.

I will be mostly away from home today so if you need additional pics, etc I can get them to you tomorrow.

First up is a 240mm Masashi Gyuto Kokuen stainless clad semi stainless SLD steel.

Original Red Ebony and Blonde Buffalo horn handle. Great height, and nimble for size.

Asking $325 including shipping CONUS.

Basic info:
213 grams
Blade cutting edge 245mm
Overall length 400mm
Height 55mm
Tapers from 4mm out of handle to a very fine tip.

And secondly a great 180mm bunka Mcusta Zanmai Beyond stainless clad Aogami Super core, with a twist Hinoki wood handle. Light numble and fantastic fit and finish.

Asking $225 including shipping CONUS.

180mm cutting edge
337mm total length
49.4 mm height at heel
About 1.5mm blade thickness out of handle,
161gram weight

The K-tip solves any complaint I have with Masashi's work. Excellent knife, GLWS

I love my Masashi. I've got a lot more expensive knives and it keeps up with all of them. Great grinds and F&F.

I owned the same Mcusta a ways back… actually a really beautiful knife. Excellent fit and finish and a truly nice Bunka.
