This one isn't fun for me, but the personal stuff (divorce) is forcing a sale. I waited over a year for this knife and worked with Chris/Shirogami Knives to order direct from Nenox. Used once, otherwise not touched. I had to try it and can remove the light patina just started. It's got hand chiseled kanji on both sides which is different from the stock knives out of the shop. This is Y.Ikeda forged, White 3 oil quenched which is what was recommended by Nenox as his best work and best balance of edge vs. sharpenability vs. toughness. Shinpei Ino is the sharpener and it's got an incredible convex grind. Nice Ironwood western handle, two pin. Paid just over $1,900 for it. I'd like to get $1,500 for it delivered CONUS, or $1,550 Int'l. Includes box, saya, pin, certificate.

Certificate, wood saya & pin
Thickness 2.8mm
Height at heel 50mm
Blade length 238mm
Total length 308mm

Sucks man. Great knife, hope someone treasures it and enjoys it. When I saw shirgoami post this I definitely swooned lol. I'm leaning towards keeping my ikeda western ironwood as they are just the prettiest knives around imo. Good luck with your sale
 
Where is the balance point on this one and do you know how much it weighs?

Hate to say this, but after holding the knife for a buyer for a couple weeks to get funds, I think the buyer has backed out. So, the knife is available again.
This guy needs to be banned. He backed out of a sale from me last year and completely ghosted me, as well. Admins, please do something about this.

Jaime @thebradleycrew is way, way, way too great of a guy to suffer this kind of BS...

😡😤😠

Especially when he NEEDS to sell a blade for a real life issue.

Sorry my friend,

GLWS!
