SOLD Neal's big sale, part 1: Halcyon, Martell, Shig, Kato, Masamoto

[Namaxy]

Too many knives that don't get use, and incoming customs has given me the feeling I need to unload. As you've seen before, my photography leaves something to be desired. Where possible, I've linked sources with better photos and or specs.

1. Halcyon Forge 235 x 51 Honyaki SOLD
Great knife. Hard to capture how well the hamon pops. Link to the knife from Joe's site:

A couple photos just now to indicate condition and depict beautiful hamon.

Asking $950 shipped CONUS US.

2. Dave Martell Summit series CPM154 Gyuto 240mm SOLD

Great looking knife in pristine condition. Link to original listing:

Current photos - which I should retake seeing the smudges I left wiping off the camellia oil.....

Asking $475 Shipped CONUS.

3. Shig Kasumi 210 with custom handle SOLD

Very sparingly used, never sharpened Shig. Original purchase from Maksim, which after testing I sent to @pcpken to re-handle because I have a preference for balance at the pinch. Unused since then, as I have since found larger versions.

Edge length: 211mm
Height at heel: 45mm
Weight: 232 grams

Asking $1,100 shipped CONUS

4. Kato WH 210 with custom handle SOLD

Same situation as the Shig above. Original purchase from Maksim, which after testing I sent to @pcpken to re-handle because I have a preference for balance at the pinch. However, this knife was lightly used and sharpened on Jon's diamond 1000/6000 combo at least once, maybe twice. Has know been in storage for some time once I found a larger version.

Edge length: 211mm
Height at heel: 46mm
Weight: 250 grams

Asking $1,100 shipped CONUS.

5. Masamoto Shiro-Ko (W2) Honyaki Yanagi with ebony handle, matching saya SOLD

Purchased directly from Korin NYC several years ago. Used lightly until I found my dream Yanagiba from Pete 84 (an original Keijiro Doi). Sent to Korin for full sharpening and ura, in storage since. Crazy sharp and perfect ura in my opinion. Link to the knife for specs etc. on Korins website:

PM Sent on Kato

 

[BrunofromBrazil]

Pm sent a little time ago hehe

 

[Namaxy]

OK - apologies to those that PM'd. I had to get away from the desk and took the dog for a quick run. Sorting though PM's now.

 

[Namaxy]

OK - responding to PM's as fast as I can.

Kato is SPF
Shig is SPF and pending my researching International shipping
Martell is SPF

 

[nickrut]

Good god what a drop. Glad I wasn’t paying attention. That HF is sick. Need it gone.

 

[PPIIBBSS]

This man just came in here and dropped the mic

 

[Namaxy]

Kato sold.
Martell sold.

 

[fortheloveofmoar]

So this is part 1….. what does part 2 look like lol

 

[nickrut]

So this is part 1….. what does part 2 look like lol

Exactly where my head went… preparing my bank account. I think I’ve only spent a few sheckles this month on knives. Got some space.

 

[Namaxy]

Shig sale isn't going to work, so Shig is available.

 

[Namaxy]

Truly no intention to be difficult, but just clarifying that non-PayPal transactions present challenges, and International sales present challenges, and putting the two together is really a challenge. I'll try to work things out with anyone, but sometimes it's just too much of a stretch.

 

[fortheloveofmoar]

What is unreasonable is how many bombs you’re dropping without prior heads up to prepare our wallets

 

[jjsoviet]

so when's part 2

 

[fortheloveofmoar]

Sigh…. pm on HF

LOL, message received. Anyone who knows me knows there is no carnage intended. And I'm also sensitive to hinting too much, and then dealing only in PMs.

What I have falls into perhaps two or three categories. Inexpensive and/or used knives that I've moved on from; Some remaining rare/special knives I don't use; and 'I've collected too much from this maker because I don't have a good reason'. I think all of these knives deserve to be in the hands of people who will appreciate them more.

I'll go slower if necessary, but I'm trying to balance that with the upheaval to my family that getting everything out involves. I mean here is my dining table:

Family and dogs aren't going to stand for that much longer lol.

 

[jjsoviet]

Those are more expensive than the entire dining set I bet

 

[mockit]

Nicest Martell I have ever seen. To the new lucky owner --> congrats and hit me up if you get bored with it !

PM sent.

I really don't understand what good reason a buyer could have for wishing not to pay by PayPal.

 

[Johan61]

PP is great for a deal like this.

 

[Namaxy]

Much happened after I went to bad last night:

Kato - sold
Shig - sold
HF - sold
Martell - sold
Masamoto - SPF
