SOLD Or WTS Ashi honyaki 240 gyuto

[geoff_nocon]

want to trade my ashi honyaki 240 gyuto. Brandnew never sharpened. But i did etch it to reveal the bandings a bit. Wasnt really visible when i first got it. Im looking for a genkai masakuni sakimaru takobiki or yanagi with sanbon sugi hamon + cash depending on length and condition. Also an okishiba(trying my luck). There are some marks on the handle that werent grinded properly but not really that bad(refer to pics). Pins are nice and flush to the wood. Thanks for looking

Also interested in a Keijiro doi honyaki. I was told he has made honyakis but very rare.

From a friend. And i remember someone from this forum said that he has one but cant remember who it is. It was when i posted a wtb thread for it

Just interesting cause I have also heard from people that say that Doi has never made Honyakis

 

[geoff_nocon]

thats what i thought too. Never even seen one in pictures. Just trying my luck here if it is true

From a couple people I trust in Japan- they’ve seen them. Though usually only in a display / museum setting.

So they’re out there.

Willing to do a straight swap with a 390(or longer?) genkai yanagi/takobiki with a normal wavy hamon or sanbon sugi. Not really interested in mt fujis

 

[nevin]

390+ wouldn't be that easy. Good luck!

True although tosho has 1 but its mt fuji. Theres also one in etsy

 

[ynot1985]

Might as well aim for genkai honyaki meguro .. they exist too[emoji23]

 

[geoff_nocon]

Or a yanagi or sakimaru that has a hamon similar to this

 

[geoff_nocon]

Yeah why not. If theres a normal wavy hamon of it or sanbon sugi id be interested even trade 2 ashis for it.

No love for ashi Geoff!?

 

[geoff_nocon]

Well i do have another one. But to be honest. I was a bit disappointed with the hamon when i etched. As much as i like its unique shape and thiness. Not much extra details unlike genkais.. ive seen better hamons from older shirakis but its just what im looking forright now and it may not apply to someones elses taste.
