WTS Prototype Yu Kurosaki

[steelforfood]

Trying to thin out the collection, got a one of a kind one here. A prototype of what looks like became the Gekko.

170mm HAP40 bunka, very thin behind the edge, but unlike many Yu Kurosaki has a convex grind.

Comes with a mono oak handle. I purchased directly from the Takefu knife village.

Asking $375 shipping to CONUS included.

I was also given a tshirt never been worn, I believe it is the equivalent of a xl. If interested. DM for shirt photos.

Is this not just the HAP40 line? I've got a petty with the same finish and handle.

Not quite the same. The production version had a downward swoop on the spine. And for what it's worth they are not making the line in HAP40 anymore I believe with VG -XEOS.

But yes it is most similar to the one you have.
