Bought Taller 240 Gyuto

[FishmanDE]

Actually, while I’m still looking specifically for a wakui, I figured this might be a chance for someone to liquidate some unused stock. Looking for something 240-260mm, carbon, taller (at least 52mm) and for around $200 or preferably less. I know it’s a long shot, but heavily used knives and potential project knives welcome. Could possibly go as high as $300 for the right piece. Thanks in advance, sorry for the paragraph.

Tanaka blue 2 damac 240mm may be your choice.

Consider Masashi. Really good knives. Tall, in your price range, nice thin grind with decent release.

I appreciate all the suggestions, and they’re good! This was however meant as a “who has some tall boys collecting dust” post.

Have a 2nd gen and 3rd gen (up swept nose) 240 JNS Mazaki, both test cut and possibly sharpened once...collecting dust. Let me know if you're interested and I'll DM pics and prices.

May we ask... what did you end up buying? Whatever it is, hope it's great!

I ended up working something out with Carl for his Coal quenched Mazaki in the other BST post. Not really what I was expecting, but I couldn’t turn it down. His maz had been haunting my dreams since I saw him post it. A lot of people offered me some really great deals though. Once that stimulus hit, I might end up buying more than I need

Just saw your post over in the new knife thread — beautiful knife!
