SOLD Tsukasa KU nakiri 165mm

[nakiriknaifuwaifu]

For sale is a veggie death needle made by Hinoura Tsukasa

This line is hand-laminated by Tsukasa Hinoura and finished by him on stones, as opposed to the prelaminated line with stamped kanji, bead-blasted finish, and magnolia wood handle (picture attached for comparison if folks are curious)

Note: the knife is sealed in lacquer as it hasn't been used in quite some time, hence the bit of dust and streaking. They're not scratches, and I'm happy to remove for a clearer picture if you'd like to confirm before purchasing

Specs:
$630 shipped CONUS

Materials: Shirogami #2 x Soft Iron
Edge Length: 157mm
Heel Height: 51mm
Thickness at Spine/Midpoint/Tip : 4mm / 2mm / <1mm

Handle: ambidextrous shield in burnt chestnut with buffalo horn ferrule
by the way, this is my all-time favorite handle - I asked a friend in jp to buy me some for the rest of my nakiris they're that nice

Price?

Sorry for the delay - I will update the post shortly with specs and pricing (I am trying to find my scale)
Please enjoy this gesshin kagekyo damascus until then.

Post updated.
Also, as an aside...
For those who hear about Tsukasa being chonky - compare to this other 165mm axe santoku knife by Tsukasa. The plain KU clads are much thinner and far more usable than the damascus versions.

This is what the shig KU line wishes it was. This line from Tsukasa is the peak of useful sanjo knife making IMO - GLWS

Very, very nice vegetable murdering tool.
