WTB Takamura Uchigumo

[Señor Sriracha]

Hey everyone,

First post here, so sorry if any of this is formatted incorrectly or if these knives are asked about frequently.

Looking to buy R2/SG2 Takamura Uchigumo with brown hana handle (open to other handles though). I am looking for a 240/210mm gyuto, 165mm santoku, and 130/150mm petty.

Please let me know if you have any of the above knives and are willing to sell.

Thank you so much!

Uchigumo aren’t too rare, but the Hana seem hard to come by… puzzling, even in Japan I couldn’t track one down…you’d think knife makers would want to sell knives
I genuinely don’t understand the scarcity

Whats the difference?

Whats the difference?

Wa vs yo handle
I don’t believe Hana are sold outside of Japan, per a shop owner in Japan

The optimist in me: The resolution of thread gives me hope and brightens my day.

The pessimist in me: The guy with the petty just said he has one, not that he wanted to sell it and is just yanking chains for lolz.

They get offered once in a while. I saw 2 postings recently(past 6 months). One from Singapore and another from New Zealand.
