Hi all,

Checking to see if anyone is interested in buying my Tanaka x Kyuzo 240mm Kurouchi extra height. A few notes below with photos and videos

PRICE: $400 with shipping covered

SPECS

Length: 230mm
Height: 58mm
Steel: Y. Tanaka Blue #1

1. I’m selling this knife as I acquired the Migaki version recently. I have no issues with either knife (I love them both dearly), I just don’t need two versions of the same knife

2. Bought from ProTooling online and it’s been home use only with 2-3 sharpening sessions. Due to general hand washing, the Kurouchi finish is beginning to show some signs of wear. Some yellowing patina below the Kurouchi line, can be easily removed.

3. It’s an amazing knife with a lot of history that you can find through the KKF boards. Definitely my first knife that made me go “oooohhhh, so this is what it’s all about”.

4. If the knife doesn’t sell, I’ll keep it around.

This shoulders on this one look super nicely convexed compared to most TxK (which are still excellent cutters). Here’s a pic of the choil on mine for ref.

Buyer will not be disappointed to pick this up, GLWS!
