Selling this pretty unique Murray Carter - he doesn't make as many in this size. This is a larger version of his Perfect Model kitchen knife. I asked him for a larger "Perfect" model and he made three similar ones. I picked this one and I think there are just two others out there. When I got it, there wasn't enough of a flat spot on the blade road so I sent it back to Murray and he flattened the main blade road out. It's about 55-60% of the blade in my estimation, which allows for great flexibility in how you use this length of a knife.
Specifications are:
White 1/stainless clad, Burgunady micarta half-tang western handle, weight is 239 grams, heel is 65mm, blade is 249mm and OAL is 367mm. It really is just a scaled up version of his perfect model which usually runs about 205mm.
I paid $785 for the knife plus extra shipping to get it back to Murray for the flatter blade road; it's been used twice and untouched since back from Murray; asking $750.
Full disclosure: I'll sell either this gyuto, OR my other Murray Carter I have posted. I can't stomach selling both, as they are pretty nice knives, just wildly different.
Photos below (sorry some of them aren't great).
