Seeking $240 due to cosmetic imperfections on the blade but otherwise excellent condition and minimal usage. Will paying for shipping IF you're based in the US. If International can work out something for international shipping costs. CONUS preferred however.

Originally bought back in the spring for $325 USD, hasn’t seen much use since the beginning of summer besides one sharpening session in the late spring. Has been for the most part, not part of my regular rotation and I’d like to sell it to someone who can use it more as right now I currently have an excess of gyutos.

Blade is comprised of 52100 steel has been deep etched by MSicard to reveal a "wootz-like" banding in the steel.

Although not wootz, it’s a very unique pattern and if it begins to fade over time, a simple re-etch would reveal it once again.

Handle is made of bloodwood and walnut, cuts extremely well and takes a very nice edge. Blade itself is hardened to ~65 HRC. Holds it edge very well.

Knife handles very well and is quite nimble, F&F is very good with a rounded spine and choil. The point of balance is right at the boundary of the tang and the heel of the knife, it's very well balanced and well made.
