Pay The Pain Forward Hiromoto
I have here a 240mm Hiromoto AS gyuto that I just found in my pile 'O shame that looks to have been a victim of the learning curve of my early thinning work. :eek2:
It appears that I made the blade too thin and pulled a Moritaka job on the edge blowing a hole into it.
To me this is junk and I was about to toss it when it occurred to me that maybe someone might want it to try their hand at a conversion/repair to maybe make something smaller out of it or whatever. I'd prefer to see this get into the hands of someone who is just starting out and needs to take some pain themselves - LOL. :spiteful:
So if you're in the mood to punish yourself here's a great project to do that with. Just let me know and it's yours.

PS - If you do make something of this I'd love to see some pictures. Don't worry, it couldn't be any worse than what I've done to it.
PSS - Sorry I can only ship this inside the US.
