SOLD Price Reduction Andy Billipp, A. Horn, M. Tsourkan

[marc4pt0]

Next round up for sale as I attempt to thin the heard. All prices include shipping conus. Additional shipping charges apply for overseas etc.

Alex Horn:
52100 "Honyaki" Integral
Beautiful Claro walnut
230mm x 51mm
188g

This one was a personal favorite for quite a while, and has naturally seen some use. Minor tip repair and sharpened a few times. Price reflects this at $550.

Marko Tsourkan Western:
A2 steel, lightly etched to showcase the banding (hard to capture with cell phone).
Brass and cocobolo
250mm x 55mm
249g

A more fun type of WH iteration from Marko. If I understand correctly, this was his interpretation of Shig style. Nicely convexed in the right side, shallow S grind on left. As counter intuitive as this sounds, it really works in performance. Sharpened on 1k & 6k JKI diamond stones. Some of the etching has faded in use.
$750

Andy Billipp
52100
Brass and Ironwood
210mm x 58mm
8.4mm spine @ handle
284.5g

This knife absolutely ghosts food in a way one wouldn't expect from its specs. Classic Billipp performance. Comes with leather sheath.
There is a tiny micro chip on edge close to tip. It'll be gone next time it's sharpened.
Sharpened once on JKI 6K diamond.
$1800

Oops. Looks like I maxed out picture limit. Will post more in a sec.

I love and hate when I see your posts come up!!! I never realized how much I want a $2k santoku. But now I want one bad. Anyone in need, please see my ebay posting for a kidney, pm for blood type matches. I'm sure I can find a drop near the sharpening sink somewhere for a sample

Beautiful knives!

I'll admit this confused me a little. So I went back and read the rules again. Unless I'm missing something, the rule states "Please do not delete asking prices..."

I haven't deleted my asking prices, I've only updated them. Should they sell for less, I may be inclined to state accordingly. Although I don't see it stated in BST rules to do so.

Tease...

Really looking to move these, but this will most likely be the last price drop:

Alex Horn $500
Marko $715
Billipp $1600

A side note regarding the tsourkan, the pictures don't do it justice. Those are not scratches or blemishes, but a mix of patina and the etch fading off from some use.
