Background
Thinning down the stash. I'd like to bundle each Takada & Yohei with one other knife. This would help save time, energy, and shipping costs.
All outstanding pieces. I don't make any profit as a whole. Also offering some very nice replacement handles for $45 each
How it works
The bundle mechanism introduces moving pieces. Pls indicate some back-up choices. If you don't. and what you'd like is already unavailable, I might have to move on to the next fellow member who contacted. Hope this makes sense.
A trade with a Jiro 240 / 225 is first priority, either handle is fine. No tag-along required.
Offerings (all BNIB, unless otherwise specified)

Note on B.3:
1. I replaced the original handle with a Knives & Stones Heart-shaped handle, I can still also include the original
2. I used and briefly restored the knife with a Uchigumori finger stone. It was a quick job and not very even, but I can include a good Uchi fingerstone and should be able to replicate the finish in this post given a bit of patience
【Section C】Optional handles, $45 each
numbered as C.1 - C.4 from left to right
C.1. Knives & Stones heart-shaped handles (originally at $105)
C.2-C.4 Taihei-style 240 gyuto handles made by a friend (easily $100 handles)

Logistics
- Payment via PayPal / venmo / bank transfer are all fine. Shipping is covered (costs me ~$50 to ship to CONUS, and $70 to Australia)
- Shipping worldwide, mostly out of Beijing, a few from San Francisco, arrives in most countries in a week, occasionally takes a few more days at the customs.
- I live between the US and China and am currently in Beijing, so I might be asleep in the afternoons of the US & evenings of Europe.
