Hi KKF, posting this one on it's own thread for obvious reasons.
I (very) recently acquired this from @nhb22 as part of a group buy. However, I was lucky enough to buy two Takadas within a couple days, and as much as I tried justifying keeping both, it just doesn't make sense in my position. This one also comes with the unfortunate side-effect of me feeling too guilty to I use it, so as much as I'll probably regret it, I'm letting it go. Knife is in the exact same condition I received it... never even cut paper with it; just stared at it a few times to admire it
.
(The orange spot on the edge under the maker's mark is not rust, looks a lot more orange in pictures for some reason, but is very light and obviously patina in person.)

.- Asking is $1200 shipped ConUS. International, shoot me a PM and we'll talk.
- Will give priority (and a discount!) to anyone who also buys either the Kurosaki or the Yoshimi Kato from my other thread.
- I'm also open to trades on this, but my wants list is very short:
- Yanick 230-240ish Gyuto w/ maybe some cash either way depending on condition
- Birgersson 230-240ish Gyuto w/ cash my way
- Recent B1/BS 240 Kono FM w/ cash my way
- Ginsan 240 Takada Suiboku w/ cash my way
