WTS Tadafune Vintage Komakiri Gyuto 230mm

[V1P]

That was quite a mouthful thread title [emoji16]

I bought this knife with the intention of making it a project knife, but needs funding for other interest.Apparently, this profile of a knife was popular 20-30 years ago and a batch of old new stock was released to the market by a supplier in Sakai. They are out of stock everywhere, as far as I know, especially this length.

Knife is currently with Cris Anderson of Scorpion Forge. With the purchase of knife, buyer would have the options to rehandle it(to be discussed with Cris himself) and/or reprofile & round the edges for $75. The work would be a priority, to be done together with his current batch of knives being done.

This one is tempting, if I didn’t have a bunch of new knives coming in this week.

Bensbites : here is the video of the actual knife and the specs. The knife itself is $130, if you opt for a rehandle, regrind and reprofile, it can be discussed with Cris Anderson and you do not have to come up with the funds right away.

Ok, edited.

Still available.

This knife has the perfect price point for an excellent project knife. Moreover, you are in line to have a pro maker do whatever custom work you want. A chance like this does not come often.
