Hey KKF fam,
I've been a little torn on whether or not to sell this one since I really enjoy the knife but I’m still in a spot where other things are a priority. I purchased from K&S about a month ago for $450 with the ebony handle.
I've sanded the handle using a progression of 180, 320, 800 grit sandpaper and conditioned with beeswax and mineral oil. The result is a much more natural wood feel vs. the slicker polished feel it came with.
It's been used for a handful of meals and sharpened once. You can see it's developing some patina but it's in overall great condition.
Specs:
Tetsujin Blue #2 Kasumi Gyuto 240mm
232x51
No scale at the moment but it’s in the 200g ballpark with the handle. Balance is just a touch behind pinch.
$380 shipped in US.

Thanks all!
