SOLD Mert Tansu boning knife 170mm (with saya) (Price DOWN)

[akafat]

Hi guys, I'm looking to sell my Tansu boning knife.

Got it direct from Mert. He made a matching saya with cocobolo wood, one of the best custom saya I have owned.It's a lovely knife but I don’t see much use now, so better to find this baby a new home. It has been used but sent back to Mert for a spa and kept inbox.

Paid for USD$750 altogether, looking to get USD$575. Shipping is $40 international.

Specs:
Steel: SG2 core with stainless damascus
Weight (g): 108 (no saya)
Length-heel to tip (mm): 170
Length-handle (mm): 142
Height at heel (mm): 35

Thank you for the kind words. It is indeed beautiful. And with time the wood darkens a bit making it very better.

Do you know the HRC?

shoot a message to Mert, I'll update that once I get confirmed. My guessing would be around 62-63, similar to my takamura uchigumo because the edge retention is on the same level from my use of both knives.

Pardon my language, but f*** yea that's nice. Small but "beautiful boner" indeed. I'm often attracted to things that seem to fit me...

Any flex to the blade?

Any flex to the blade?

It is thin grind with fair flexibility, but not super thin so no super flex like some filleting knife.
