SOLD Raquin Gyuto 198 mm Kasumi

[Bico Doce]

Hey KKF,

I need to sell this project knife so I can fund the next one. I got this in trade from the second owner. Originally sold by @ZeeVee who picked it up from Carbon.

It originally had a belt finish but has since been put to stones by me. Finished on a shobu suita, the bevels are pretty good but it was a challenge to make the xc10 cladding really pop. I’m sure someone with a bit more experience and time could dial this in a bit more. It currently has a nasty edge off of a natsuya which can handle that paper towel challenge with no issues.

This build is stout with a great taper, no flex. Small and mighty, this knife is a blast to use.

Asking $615 shipped Conus (international deduct $15 and you cover the rest)

Great seller. He’s greatly underselling the work he puts in on these blades. I have a Heldqvist he finished and the edge is amazing.

as a shobu evangelist, this is music to my ears

Seriously cool and fun little knife! Someone will really like it. Bryan’s knives have a strong energy that I love - purposeful knives

Sold! Thanks KKF and everyone who reached out ...

except the guy who said he would take it and disappeared for 10 hours without any indication he wouldn't be available and then called me unethical for selling it to the next person up who was responsive.

Oh careful man. You probably broke some unwritten law. Don’t worry, I’ll throw some dirt on your name in another thread
