Right so here's the 240, definitely a dorito this one. White #2 clad in iron, bought about a year ago, sharpened 3 times, never thinned, but I did mirror polish the core with a morihei 9k, and I cleaned up the bevels with finger stones/slurry. Tbh it doesn't need thinning imo, this has one of the best grinds I've used, the convex s grind is excellent! Great heat treat, gets crazy sharp very easily, keeps the edge really nicely for white #2. This one has a custom handle from Joe at Sugi Cutlery, really really nice work, really nice to use and the grain on this wood looks incredible. Tried to get a good photo of that but failed. Please see the measurements below:
Blade length: 246 mm
Blade height at heel: 53.5 mm
Spine thickness at handle: 5.1 mm
Spine thickness mid-blade: 2.7 mm
Weight: 223 g
Bought for $325 + $70 for the handle, so let's say$320 $300 + shipping
I've already had a few messages about this one from my last WTS, so I'll go through those messages starting with whoever messaged first.
I'll put the 270 up tomorrow, I may not have the TxK migaki gyuto ready until next weekend unfortunately, but I'll get it up here asap.
