Morihei Ginsan Damascus Gyuto

[Jkellett3]

Does anyone have any information on the Morihei Ginsan Damascus Gyuto it says Polished by Akimitsu. Other than that it seems to be fairly limited in production with no more that 16 made but appears to be closer to 11 made thus far.
Just wondering if anyone owns one, has seen one or has any additional information about them. There doesn’t seem to be any info on the forum that I’ve seen.

Do you have a link? Sounds like a can grab to me?

They are being sold through distributors

I originally saw it on hitohira Instagram page that’s what sparked my interest

Ugh Hitohira! Cash grab!

 

[Jkellett3]

That’s what I was wondering, it seemed that way with the “limited” nature of it

It’s a habit of Hitohira to obfuscate and hide who makes their knives. Even “Akimitsu” is also a pseudonym.

They sell great but overpriced knives though.

Ya, reason knives are so unappealing anymore. Or I should say many knives.

Sadly no. Their business practices are a total turnoff

Yet everyone is clamouring for a Jiro

Yet so many turn up on secondary market.... unused. Hmmmm
There's even one on Ebay at the moment.....but don't rush over there, its no bargain

Agreed, totally bogus what they’re doing.

Another overnight sensation that’s all hype at the moment.
