SOLD Toyama Iron Clad

[myguidingmoonlight]

Letting this beauty of a blade go, I haven't been reaching for it much lately, and a knife like this should have a good home. My Stainless Clad Toyama 240 has it beat in everything except that it can't produce the beautiful kasumi and patina of this 210 iron clad.

I removed the old JNS handle since it was so beat up and replaced it with a nice blonde horn ho wood Taihei d handle.

I also gave it a nice kasumi finish to give it that Konosuke Tetsujin-esque look, which I found very handsome. The kasumi also revealed some nice metal banding on the left face of the knife.

Specs: 213 mm x 47 mm

Shipping from Canada, payment through PayPal G&S.

Asking for $390, around the price of a new SS Toyama 210. First $20 shipping covered by me. SOLD

If possible I'm also looking for a trade + cash for a iron clad Toyama/Watanabe 240.

This is the choil shot, it is deceptive because of an under grind near the heel. The rest of the blade is thin enough for comfy horizontal cuts through onions.

If you're wondering about the background, I took this shot in front of my computer monitor.

I already have one yet I'm still tempted

The banding is a real thing with Toyamas, I had a petty that showed some. Just beautiful. GLWS!

I thought the background might have been out the window of your private jet

It looks pretty clear to me that Toyama iron clad = heaven. GLWS

Shocked this one isn’t gone yet. What a beauty. That kasumi takes it to a new level in my opinion. Glws, although I’m sure you don’t need too luck luck to move this one.

Nice, if these are your specs Watoyama ironclad is a killer performer. What did you use for the kasumi?

I used kasumi stone power, made it into a paste and rubbed it with an very midly abrasive sponge.

It would be a lot more painful to kasumi finish a convex knife like this one.

This one is SPF. Thanks for the interest everyone.

 

[myguidingmoonlight]

Bump. Sale fell through, this Toyama is still available.

 

[myguidingmoonlight]

This one is now sold.

 

[HumbleHomeCook]

Congrats to the buyer.

I honestly considered putting this thread on ignore as last night after my second glass of Irish whiskey I found myself oh so very tempted.

I got it from Tosho; they are unfortunately sold out as of now. I think other vendors have similar items though.
