Hey guys, another fun one up for sale. I got this gyuto a while ago and really didn't like how it cut. I got it thinned and sharpened and then i sanded the Kurouchi, etched, and stone finished with some finger stones. I also put a really good edge on it. The finish is nice and satiny.

His AS is hard hard also. I'vee been super happy with its toothiness when sharp. I still have it in another knife.

I got an Oak and Lily mono Bocote handle fitted nicely onto it. It's cutting better than ever now.

245 x 51.5, 3.5mm @ heel, 233g. Balance 25mm from heel.

Withdrawn - $300 USD, PP, CONUS USPS Priority included. Withdrawn

Nice knife, Im still hoping to fill out my set one day.
If you can find the Hakata, I can't recommend it enough. One of my favorite blades that has so much going on for such a small blade. Grind BTE gets thicker towards the heel, and he really draws the tip out, it's nice and thin. I didn't make any alterations to the blade like this one and I put a new handle on it. His AS is great.
