Hello KKFs
I hope everyone is doing well. Greeting from down under. Thanks everyone for the warm welcome messages
For the very first vintage knife to offer , I would love to start with Takeda AS Bunka. As most of you guys know, no need any introduction for legendary Takeda Knives. This takeda with Aogami Super Steel is from 2nd Generation. This knife has been used, restored and sharpened. The bevels are evenly ground. It also comes with customized Saya.
With the completely recent discontinuation of the steel cladding AS knives from Master Shosui Takeda, this knife will be truly great for the collectors.
Measurements :
Blade Length from Heel : 126 mm
Total Length : 250 mm
Spine Thickness above Heel : 2.95 mm
Blade Height at Heel : 42 mm
Total Weight without Saya : 85 g
Handle : Ebony Wood
Ferrule : Black Buffalo Horn
Saya : Ebony Wood
Asking $U.S. 680 including express shipping world wild with Insurance.
Thanks everyone for looking.
Cheers,
Harry
