Have a couple of customs coming up and bought too many knives lately. See pictures below.
MOVED4. (Tsubaya Version) Takada No Hamono Silver#3 Stainless Steel Kasumi Santoku 165mm Rosewood Octagonal Handle
No Takada stamp on this one, but it is made by Takada and forged by Nakagawa according to Tsubaya. The box also says Takada in Japanese.
Nice little Santoku.
First owner, bought brand new from Tsubaya.
Used for 1 meal prep at home. It has some minor scratches (I received it with those minor scratches).
Paid $300. I'll do $275 $250 with PP (G&S) shipping and insurance included for CONUS. Will cover the first $20 for outside of CONUS.
MOVED5. JNS Tanaka Yoshikazu Gyuto 170mm Blue 1 Special
First owner, bought brand new from JNS.
This is the special polished version with handle upgrade. The knife is super sharp.
Used for 1 meal prep at home.
Paid $480. I'll do $425 $375 with PP (G&S) shipping and insurance included for CONUS. Will cover the first $20 for outside of CONUS.

MOVED6. Toyama Noborikoi Kasumi Deba 180mm
First owner, bought brand new from JNS.
I learned that fish butchery is not for me. I'm more of a chicken and land animals guy.
Used it to fillet 2-3 small / medium sized fish at home.
There are some scratches and some oxidation spots (this is iron clad). Hope you can see the condition well in the picture. Think it can be polished / removed pretty easily.
Paid $405. I'll do $300 $250 with PP (G&S) shipping and insurance included for CONUS. Will cover the first $20 for outside of CONUS.
