Hello everyone. I have this beautiful Ginyo 210 that I am putting up for sale. These are made by Yoshihiro Yauji for Hatsukokoro, I’m sure everyone here probably knows more than me about just about everything! Purchased last month from Sugi cutlery, has an African Blackwood and horn handle by Joe. Knife is absolutely laser thin, even with the Blackwood handle it weighs in at 164 grams. Absolutely love it, but I’m trying to pay some knives I ended up purchasing just after this one. Has been used to prep dinner at home a couple times, original edge is untouched, could use finish sharpening by someone who knows what they are doing. Fit and finish is spectacular, definitely the nicest of any of my knives with regard to polishing and rounding. Damascus is not sticky at all, you can feel it just a bit but it has no effect on cutting feel. 215 edge length, 49mm at the heel. Just a stunning knife in person. Price is $350 shipped in US. Only trade I am interested in would be a 210 S. Tanaka R2 Damascus gyuto. Thank you for looking, and please ask any questions you might have.

I don't think there's anything wrong with your price! I personally think it's just a quirk of the audience here. BST is filled with the crusty old vets of knife collecting who already have honed in on their preferences, have bunch of nice knives already and are basically looking for their unicorns. The second largest group of people I feel are new and are not ready to drop hundreds for a knife - and would prefer slightly more affordable stuff.

So I kind of forgot this was still up for sale. I sharpened it once on an SG3000 and have used it a bit, I have been really impressed with edge retention, the Ginsan feels very hard to me! The food release is excellent for a laser this thin, I think there is some subtle s-grind/convexing going on. The continuous distal taper is pretty cool too! I have kind of moved towards less lasery knives so I’m going to bump this at the previous $285 price. I think it’s a crazy deal at this price!
Ideally I would really like to trade this one for something Tetsujin/Myojin sharpened, or Kikuchiyo/Nakagawa ginsan etc… thanks!
