Here is the listing from which I purchased it:

And here is the knife on the Bernal page:

Selling for exactly what it cost me: $410 shipped USPS in the CONUS.

I'll add that kitchensamurai1 kept this in great shape. The blade is oiled, packaging is clean and intact, and the knife is beautifully presented.

Someone pick this up before I decide to buy it for work…. Too many Takada knives in my drawer and magnet already.

I will say I use an HH Sujhiki at work and it has all the same feel of my Suiboku knives. If you want a Suiboku but think it’s silly cuz the finish will eventually come off when u have to thin it- THIS IS THE KNIFE FOR YOU!

Is this a Y Tanaka forge or Nakagawa who generally does Takada blu2?

 

[Jaylilly74]

Never mind. I see in the Bernal cutlery description says sharaki which would not be Y Tanaka but probably Nakagawa forges.

I know, now that I think about it I could’ve used this for work and sold by current ones. Love TnH
