SOLD Tsourkan Scimitar

[tgfencer]

Up on the block is this Marko Tsourkan scimitar. I am not the original owner, but it's in great condition, barely used by the looks of it. As butcher I use my blades in reverse grip a lot and at odd angles, but I couldn't quite do it comfortably with this one. Held the normal way its super comfortable though. The blade is 300mm and steel is 52100 with a thin, but stiff convex grind. The western handle looks to be cocobolo and brass. As far as I know he hasn't made any of these in years and I personally only know of one other.

Price, shipped CONUS: $615

What do you value this at?

Beautiful! I'd get this if I didn't already have a Tsourkan slicer!

 

[daveb]

I've one. Don't get it out much but when I do.....

Not to be confused with a suji.

 

[tgfencer]

Changing this from a trade to a sale. Get it while the gettin's good.

Looks like a beast of a knife. I feel like it'd be worth it for anyone who likes to buy whole strip loins or export ribs and portions them at home.

I know some of you have like 6 cars, so what's another knife?

I have no use for this but feel like I should buy it on principle.

Haha, I think the same could be said for pretty much every BST thread. Some of my favorite purchases have been things I had no use for.

Having this knife in hand will change your shopping habits....


He'll yes I want that whole prime rib!

ARGH why must the people here be such upright, principled individuals?!

 

[thirsty0ne]

Can somebody please buy this now before shipping to the EU will be an option?

Thx in advance.

Now this is a knife.
