For your consideration:
Tsukiji Masamoto honyaki deba 180mm. Shirogami white steel #2. single bevel, right-handed thicc
Check out more info on the website HERE and the KKF Knife ID thread HERE
Received as a gift in the late 1980's. Originally purchased in Japan. Never sharpened. Used approximately 5 times ever. Fair condition: some obvious gunk, water/staining, etc. Edit: original saya - cracked at the bottom of the opening.
I am posting now as is in case there's a collector out there that prefers the natural patina or would like to do refurb themselves/with the shop of their choosing. If there is no interest, I plan to take the knife into JKI here in LA and have Jon clean it up.
$550 USD *as is* includes insured CONUS shipping. I'll contribute $15 to International shipping. Buyer assumes risk, import fees, VAT, etc for International.
Also open to trades + cash for certain nakiri - prefer ~165/shorter migaki
Any feedback on this post - price, description, specs, etc - is welcomed and appreciated. I am new to the forum and want to find this knife a good home. Proceeds will be divided between my dad, brother, and a nakiri for me : )
