WTB - EU Takada No Hamono Suiboku Ginsan 240, Denka 210mm, Hitohira Tanaka x Kyuzo blue 240mm, Heiji Stainess Gyuto

[steffffan79]

I renewed my searches and put them all in one search together...

I prefer to buy within Europe. Outside we might have to Talk About i think...

So my current search is one of these... (Gyutos all usually in 240mm)

My favorite search:

Takada No Hamono Suiboku Ginsan 240mm
See also my separate search

Hitohira Tanaka x Kyuzo blue #1 stainless with Taipei or ziricote handle
See also my separate search

Denka Gyuto 210mm (240mm too expensive)



not that important:

Tetsujin Ginsan Gyuto

Heiji Gyuto (stainless only) with burnt chestnut handle

Watanabe Pro Gyuto (stainless 210 or 240mm)

Tadokoro Gyuto (stainless)

Kagekiyo Ginsan stainless Gyuto

Nakagawa Ginsan Bunka

Myojin Riki Seisakusho SG2 Gyuto

Hado Ginsan Gyuto

Y. Tanaka AS (Miura?) Gyuto. Done

 

[steffffan79]

Also a Heiji Nakiri with at least 180mm could be a possibility. Not sure if with Kurouchi or not and which steel.
Still not sure if a big Toyama 210 or rather a little bit smaller Nakiri in addition to my 165mm Watanabe is the best way to add.

Not EU but possibly a bargain

 

[steffffan79]

But would be really nice but i First try IT within EU. But thank you.

 

[jaydee]

Here is another from australia @220AUD
Heiji nakiri 180mm

 

[steffffan79]

Still i First eanna try a EU based Location.
Also consider a Heiji Gyuto in 240mm

 

[chefwp]

I have this one from JNS, it is a fantastic knife, good luck on your quest.
JNS Toyoma Nakiri

 

[jaydee]

First eanna try a EU based Location

Understandable! Good luck!
You might already know that Japanische Kochmesser, Damastmesser & Schleifsteine / Naturschleifsteine in feinster Qualität sell Heiji´s ?
Yes, they are more expensive. The cheapest option will probably be to order direct
(other than hoping for a used one in the EU)

There is a Toyama nakiri (180mm) for sale at Kleinanzeigen BTW!
(and I believe the seller is a member here too)

 

[steffffan79]

Thank you. Yes Japan-messer-shop has none at the moment. But maybe soon Back in Stock.
Toyama in Kleinanzeigen would Sound nice.
But I think of Toyama then I prefer 219mm to have a difference to my 165mm Nakiri. For the Toyama in 210mm I have an Option I would decide for.

 

[jaydee]

Japan-messer-shop

They do have a relatively new 240mm in SKD steel.

They also have many 210mm nakiris. Even one forged by togashi.

 

[steffffan79]

I saw a Lot nice knives there already. I would Love to have some for Sure. Heiji in SKD12 IS available but I am Not Sure If I will Like the Light Brown handle. I guess rather the darker one of available again. A bigger price difference IT seems Just for different Handkes. Rest seem ro Match.
Yeah and tge Hamono 210mm Nakiri.. beautiful. But the Blade height seems to be a Lot less then at a Toyama.

 

[jaydee]

Heiji in SKD12 IS available

That one and the 270 gyuto in SKD with the blond handles are new. All the others are from an old batch and slightly cheaper.

You could ask Mrs. Horie from the shop if they would change the handle at no extra charge. If not i would look into ordering directly. Ask Heiji for the price of a 240mm with chestnut handle plus shipping and add VAT+customs. Chances are it is still slightly cheaper than that shop.
Or ask in the dedicated thread:
Heiji direct

 

[steffffan79]

Yes I will See If anything is possible to get old Handles on the New batch. Again too late until new batches come. They Sure make a different appearing with different handles.
Direct Order is always in the end when there is No other Option left.

 

[steffffan79]

I am Not Sure what will come along. For Gyuto IT could be a Heiji in 240mm or a Denka Gyuto in 210 or 240mm

 

[jaydee]

There is a 240 wa-denka and yo-maboroshi in BST within EU. Hamono.nl has a yo-denka 240 last time i looked and meesterslijpers have a 210mm yo-denka.

 

[steffffan79]

Thanks. Yes I daw the offer on BST and wrote already If still available. I didn't check Pictures too exactly until I know If still there. At least Looks Like in good condition.
I also wrote the other two Shops. They seem to get new TF knives in the next few months it seems.
There I also want Wa Handles and Not Yo.
210mm would be enough for me - regarding prices at least.

 

[steffffan79]

I updated my search list.

I tried to order one directly but Heiji doesn’t reply since October, I got the 240mm Sweden Steel from Japan-Messer Shop.
Paid around 70-80€ more compared to directly after taxes and shipping.

 

[enrico]

I know you prefer EU and I’m not sure if these are still available but that Ku one is a great price

[steffffan79]

Some nice Option there.. Always Bad for me when IT IS outside the EU but I wrote to the Last Link. Thank you @JMeen

 

[steffffan79]

Updated my search with a Y. Tanaka AS Gyuto also.

 

[steffffan79]

So i found a nice Toyama Gyuto now that is Off my list.
I will compare IT with my 240 Maboroshi Gyuto but i think in the end i will let the Maboroshi go and IT would be Up for a trade or Sale as Western Handles are Not that perfect for me.

 

[ashy2classy]

Buy this AS!!!

https://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/...ack-wrought-tanaka-as-etc.69882/#post-1075199

 

[steffffan79]

Updated my search a bit.. some as not that important rather lower in the list. Therefore added a Takada No Hamono new in.
Put this search in an extra Thread now

 

[curreel]

I have a Hado 210 white 1 gyuto that's unused - I bought it from Meesterslijpers but didn't like the blade height. I'm in Europe. Any interest?

 

[steffffan79]

Thanks for the offer.. at the moment Hado is a bit lower in my wish List and as I might get my hands on a Hitohira i first have to wait a bit to see what is coming Up these days.
Butv in General a Hado could be interesting

 

[steffffan79]

Ah i Just read the Hado is 210 Only.. rather should be 240 as they seem to be in the lower length.

 

[steffffan79]

And again a little search Update with moving knives AS per importance Up and down and i think i still want the Toyama Noborikoi Kasumi Nakiri 210mm.

 

[steffffan79]

Still looking specially for the Toyama Nakiri. Mainly from EU. International Only for the example i really cannot say No to
