Hi KKF,
Been a while since there's been a Nine Honyaki on BST. Here's a chance to possibly own one.
Kind of at my end game so I’ll be looking stuff that I'd use and more perfect fits for myself or unicorns, generally gyutos between 210mm-250mm.
Originally this list was longer but honestly, there’s probably only a few knives I would trade this for.
Open to all gyutos (non-production line) from
Kamon
Bazes
TheNine
Bidinger (Gyuto Profile)
Potentially a Xerxes
Potentially a Yanick
Opening it to sale offers as well even though I have a few already
Nine W2 Honyaki 250 mm
Sale/Trade Value: $1050
Steel: W2 Tool Steel (Not Shirogami)
Heel Height: 57.0mm
Edge Length: 250mm
Thickness of Spine at Heel: 2.1mm
Weight: 190g
Finish: Honyaki
Handle: Unknown D-Shaped
Geometry: Convex Laser (Looks RH Biased)
Accompaniments: Wooden Saya
Honyaki pictures for those who missed it. Has a very strong hamon with ashi.
Tested out a few cuts, really amazing cutting feel with a nice balance of food release.
Landed with some patina. I cleaned it up with some flitz and polished it with some uchigumori finger-stones to bring out more contrast. Can’t take credit though as Rob likely set an amazing base and didn’t know what I was doing too much.
Its edge is still quite sharp so if I had to guess, it would have been minimally touched up or possibly could have not been as well.
Will let this float around, and take my time with this trade.
Cheers, thanks all.
