Pass Around: Cris Anderson 245mm gyuto, Nitro-V
As a tribute to my four year old, who loves being passed around getting hugs before bedtime, I'm going to do a pass around here on my Cris Anderson gyuto. Cris' knives are expensive and can be elusive, but they are excellent blades and everyone that wants to try one should have the chance to do so. In addition, it's stainless (Nitro-V) which a lot of folks haven't tried.
I'm going to follow in the (successful) footsteps of Ashy and ask for $25 PP F&F from each user so there's some motivation to not beat the **** out of it. Everyone is expected to play by big boys and girls rules - you break it, you buy it. At the end of the pass around, I'll put it up for sale for $1,100 price minus the pass around funds received - significantly below my cost. I'm going to limit this to 15 people, assuming there are 15 participants who want to try it out. At $25 each, that would be about $725 sale price.
To keep it fair, I'm going to post the knife back up for sale once I receive it back. I'll post it at a higher price for those that did not participate in the pass around and at the net price, less $25 fees, to those that did. That should be fair to everyone. I'll ask that folks keep the knife for up to 7 days from day of receipt to keep it moving. Feel free to sharpen it as you like. Please post comments and feedback on this page after you use the knife. It will be fun for folks to see.
Below is a link to the posting (that I've withdrawn) for the knife with photos and specs. Any feedback is appreciated. PM me if you're interested with your name, handle, e-mail, phone number, and address so I can keep track. Thanks in advance!
