Bought Raquin

[KnifeExplorer]

Hey guys,

I’m after a raquin gyuto, would prefer bnib but would consider any low usage ones.
Specs I’m looking after:
- 145sc core steel
- any handle
- Ku finish
- 210-240mm x 50 ish
- any grind.

Please PM me if you got one to let go.

Thanks.

You're eliminating a lot of potential knives with the "bog oak" ask. I'm not sure if you're aware, but raquin does burnt oak, not bog oak. They look very similar from a distance or in pictures, but he very rarely works with bog oak. I did a quick search and the only one I could find is this one, which you can see he didn't even make the handle for. Raquin is one of those makers who very very rarely strays from his norm, so whatever bog oak handles that do exist will probably eventually be clutched in the cold, dead hands of they're owner. I have an engraved raquin that's the only one in existence that I know of, and trust me I'll probably never get rid of it. You'd probably just be better off looking for a regular handle and having one of the very talented woodworkers on here make you one to your specifications. Just my 2 cents

Hi there ,

Thanks for letting me know. I thought it was bog oak and not burnt oak. Will change it now.

Cheers,

Would you be interested in a former passaround that has been sitting in a box unused for 3 years?
