This Honyaki Gyuto is hand-forged by legendary Master Ikeda-san and sharpened by Ino Shinpei-san. Fuji Mt with fulll moon Hamon on both ura and hira. The blade is brand new and mirror polished by Suisin. Never been either used or sharpen. It comes with custom handle by kenscustomhandles / black sand-pattern saya / blue pouch / kiri box / certificate.
This knife is absolutely stunning and pristine. It may not come across very often as , everyone knows, Ikeda san is believed to be retiring anytime soon. If placing orders, it could probably take up to 1-2 years (unless he retires first) from what I have been told.
The photos don’t really do the justice. It’s never been easy to capture very good shots on Honyaki blades. Part of thinning down to make more room.
Specs :
Edge Length : 230 mm
Total Length : 390 mm
Spine Thickness above Heel : 3 mm
Blade Height at Heel : 50 mm
Weight : 246 g
Asking Price : $1,450 USD

Please let me know if any questions. Thanks.
