Help me buy a mountain bike by purchasing these fine knives. No trades please unless it is for a kickass mountain bike. The only reason I'm selling these is to be able to keep up with my 7 year old on the trails and my equipment is woefully inadequate. I really like all these knives very much but I have many and the kid would rather spend time riding than in the kitchen so compromises must be made.
Tansu V2 stainless clad gyuto
I purchased this knife a few months ago at the Blade Show. Anyone that knows Mert's knives know how they fly through anything. This one is very thin with a beautiful profile. The tip ghosts through onions and the like. The steel has become one of my favorites after using this one as well as my Kochi with the same steel. I touched up the edge once on a natural just with stroping. I don't remember the handle materials but it is handsome and quite large. Mert offered to swap it out for a smaller one but I never got around to sending it back. I really love this knife and WILL replace it one day. The knife comes with a padded Tansu knife bag.
Length heel to tip: 250mm
Height at the heel: 59mm
Spine above heel: 3.8mm
Spine @ halfway: 2.4mm
Spine 1cm from tip: .7mm
Steel: Takefu V-Toku2
Cladding : stainless
Weight: 286g / 10.1 oz
Price : $815 shipped U.S. / international +$30. Retracted
Really hard to take good pics of this one. The first couple are from when I first got it when there was good light. I'm happy to provide more pics on request.
