SOLD Raquin/Halcyon/Catcheside/Xerxes/Nordquist/Carter/Maillet/Kurosaki/Shibata

[ZeeVee]

Greetings fellow knife nuts,

These past few months have been a whirlwind of knife purchases for me. I fell deep into the rabbit hole, and snatched every knife I could on the way down. Well, I took inventory recently and, well, boy... I have a lot of knives... Like a lot of knives. It's time to do some pruning, so I'm offering up some of the knives that have seen little or no use since I purchased them. Obviously none of these are bad knives, I just cant justify holding onto them if they're not getting used. They deserve a good home where they are cared for and appreciated. So anyway, here they are:

Shibata Koutetsu Bunkas are the epitome of bunkas and the handle on yours looks really nice. Great deal on a knife that is so often unavailable.

 

[Morten]

The Xerxes, can you tell whether it has been sharpened? Looks untouched from choil shot.

Great posting skills BTW, nice and clear.

 

[marc4pt0]

I was the original owner of that Halcyon gyuto, and it held a very special place in my home for several years. It was in my "never sell" side of storage. That knife was what originally opened my eyes to Joe as a knife maker, and gentleman. Kudos to the one who bought it.

 

[kkGoodwin]

Nice collection!

I asked the previous owner, he only used it once and did not sharpen it. I've used it for a couple of meal preps and have not sharpened or stropped it. The edge bevel looks very thin, I don't see any stray scratch marks anywhere. If it has been sharpened, it was by a practiced hand. Sorry I can't be more definitive than that.

FYI, the Shibata is a clad R2, not mono. You can clearly see the cladding line in the pics.
