Sale price includes PP G&S fees.
For buyers interested in fee-free payment methods, I’ll offer the knives at the discounted trade value shown above.
Either way, fully insured/tracked CONUS shipping is included. I’ve shipped internationally and can cover the first $15 for international buyers; PM and we can discuss.
I'll reduce pricing by $15 per additional knife to account for postage savings for anyone buying multiple pieces.

Very lightly used for a few test cuts. Never sharpened or stropped. Includes original packaging.
Taller heel height than standard (as requested). Upgraded enju handle as shown. F&F is decent. Cuts well OOTB, but as usual for direct order Heiji knives, the bevels could use some evening out. See detailed choil photos.

More info: Kagekiyo Ginsan Gyuto 240mm Walnut Handle
Used and sharpened. Surface level scuffs on blade as shown. Price reflects cosmetic condition – a pretty nice deal for a Nakagawa/Myojin 240. FM-ish cutter in stainless. Famous (?) "ribbed for pleasure" handle. No original box but I think I can dig up the saya if you want it.
For anyone wanting a different handle, I can include a custom Ben’s Bites redwood burl handle that would look great on this knife for an extra $50. See photos.
