Traded MSicardCutlery x JLA - Honyaki Gyuto, Sheffcut steel, 205mm, 65HRC - Hand polish & custom handle

[nhb22]

@MSicardCutlery and @KasumiJLA did an awesome job on this one. I love this knife. It is probably the prettiest knife I have. It cuts very well, but I rarely want to use a 210. When I want a 210, I normally want a petty/suji.

I take it out of my knife holder and look at it often. My wife thinks I'm crazy.

It deserves to see more usage and go to someone who actually uses this size. If you are interested in purchasing this knife, you should read Julien's original post and take a look at his pictures.

The knife is less than 2 months old and has seen very little use in a home environment.

Paid $695 after conversion to CAD. Asking $645, G&S fee and CONUS shipping included. Will cover the first $15 for outside of CONUS.
