WTS Mizuno White #2 270mm Honyaki Gyuto

[ashy2classy]

Description
Got this from JCK a few months ago. Added the sharpening service with it, but never expected it to come back this scratched up. Selling because I'm not using it as much as I thought. Used the knife lightly about 10 times and sharpened once myself. Removed patina as much as I could.

as far as I understand he's selling it because the knife was scratched.

What a great looking profile with nice flat spot

why are you selling this??

Just not using it as much as I thought I would. I loved my 240s but the 270 isn't connecting with me as much. I wouldn't be upset if it doesn't sell.

Nah, that part is just a note about why it's scratched.

Scratches are easily erased. Just annoying when your brand new knife arrives with them. Curious if you contacted Koki to complain? PM if you prefer

Easy = royal pain if you're trying to recreate the mirror....

I'd have been annoyed too. That said, this is a great deal on an awesome looking knife. GLWS

Killer price on a very excellent blade. GLWS

I asked him for a partial refund but the only thing he'd do is give me 5% off my next knife. Didn't help for this one. To his credit, he said it might come back with some scratches, but I didn't expect this much.

So I can’t buy this super sweet knife.
