Downsizing getting harder and harder.
- Gesshin Ittetsu honyaki 240mm (actual about 228x46), white 2 steel, from the first run JKI did. Ebony handle, white 2 steel. I did some light thinning so it could use a touch of sandpaper love for re-beautification but I don't typically care about that for my knives. Since it needs a little refreshing, $1k flat.
- Gesshin Kagekiyo honyaki 240mm (actual about 228x49), white 2 steel. Not a lot of wide-bevel honyaki out there. Retails for $1350. $1200 all in. Touched up, never needed a new bevel.
