Description:
Purchased for $1120 AUD (~$772.80) from the June drop this past summer.
Tanaka forged x Kawakita sharpened.
Minimal home-use (e.g. half a dozen onions, a few bell peppers, a dozen potatoes) with no sharpening or stropping.
In my experience, this knife feels lighter than its weight might suggest due to the wa-handle and would be ideal for someone who wants a full-size chuka but prefers a less blade heavy feel. (This definitely still has heft though.) I personally prefer the feeling of mild carpal tunnel with yo-chuka so this isn’t a true keeper as I’d have hoped.
Measurements:
Spine Thickness @ Heel: 3.5mm
Spine Thickness @ Tip: 1.5mm
Weight: 526g
Edge length: 220mm
Heel height: 111mm
Height at ~ middle: 109mm
Height at the Tip: 107mm
Pricing:
Opening up for a solo sale but still happy to offer a deal if bundled.
Priority will go towards offers that bundle with another knife or item that I have for sale on BST. (Yeah, I know how some of y’all feel about bundles but alas this won’t be in-stock again for a while IIRC and so this is additional "bait" to help drive sales.)
Bundle Price - $750 and I will cover shipping CONUS; $15 covered for international buyers.
Price alone (recuperating my full at-cost) -$810 $750 $710 shipped CONUS.
