What:
Akebono Knives & Stones Shiraki 240mm gyuto. Light prep use. Honed on strop and once on Suita. The patina is starting to build nicely. Includes a nice matching saya. This is a great mid-weight knife, just doesn't call to me like others, so I'm going to pass it along. Very nice fit and finish. The last Shiraki I own, crazy enough.
Price:
$375 to your door CONUS
Specs:
Blue 2/Iron clad
Ebony/buffalo handle, octo
242 grams
Heel at 54mm
Blade at 243mm
OAL 407mm
