Hi KKF, putting up a few more knives for sale and consolidating my other thread into this one. I'm slimming down my collection / making room for newer stuff I like better, as I'm learning what my tastes are.
I'd prefer selling within the CONUS, but will cover the first $15 for int'l shipping. Shoot me a PM if you have any questions or want any additional information about these. I'm open to offers and am willing to offer additional discounts if you buy multiple knives.
Thanks!
Nakagawa Ginsan 240mm K-tip Gyuto - $400
Originally purchased from Bernal. Morihiro sharpened. Basically BNIB, only did a couple of test cuts with it on some veggies and pretty quickly decided that while I loved the look, I did not love the feel of it. Handle is ebony and black horn. Asking $400 shipped to CONUS, int'l I'll cover $15.
HADO Sumi Blue #1 Damascus 210mm Wide Gyuto - $500
Originally purchased from CKC. Used it enough that it's developed a pretty blue patina, but it still has its original edge and cuts as it did the day I got it. Similarly to the above, I fell in love with the look, but did not love the feel. Handle is mono-lacquered oak. Asking $500 shipped to CONUS, int'l I'll cover $15.
Yu Kurosaki Fujin VG10 270mm Sujihiki - $225
I know Kurosaki doesn’t get much love these days, and it's VG10 to boot, but I strongly believe the knife you're going to use to carve your Thanksgiving turkey, or that brisket in your backyard, should be stainless. Imagine carving your Thanksgiving turkey, and then having to excuse yourself from the dinner table to go wash your knife... or being in your backyard with your friends and family, and having to go back inside to wash your knife after carving that brisket. I don't know about you, but both of those scenarios seem sucky. This big boy has seen basically zero use. I used it to cut up a couple tuna steaks, and that's about it. Letting it go because I'm eyeing another piece that I think will fit better in my collection. Handle is rosewood w/ black horn. Asking $225 shipped to CONUS, int'l I'll cover $15.
Yoshikane White #2 Nashiji 210mm Gyuto - $225 - SOLD
This is the K&S teak/horn handle version, which I got BNIB from a buddy of mine, It's seen some light use and the exposed carbon edge has developed a nice blue patina, but still has its original edge and cuts as if it was brand new. While I love the look and feel of this one, I really missed the height of a 240 every time I used it. Asking $225 shipped to CONUS, int'l I'll cover $15.
Shiro Kamo AO Super Kurouchi 175mm Bunka - $145 - SOLD
This was my favorite knife for a while, but I finally found a nice AO Super KU gyuto that has taken up this guy's slot on my knife rack. Used a few times a week for about a month, so it has some patina on the exposed carbon steel edge, but is still screaming sharp and in excellent condition. Handle is walnut/maple/rosewood. Asking $145 shipped to CONUS; int'l I'll cover $15.
