SOLD Two Sakai Ginsan

[billybunka]

Greetings and salutations. For your consideration this evening, we have two knives on somewhat opposite sides of the spectrum…

The first is a:

Kagekiyo Ginsan Gyuto (210mm) BNIB
Bought the blade from baba hamono, handle is from @JPAU a beautiful thuya burl. This is a wide bevel iteration by Nakagawa/Nshida. It has not been used and comes with original box. Was meant for a friend overseas but shipping posed an issue so I found him a better option.
Tip to heel: 200mm
Tip to tang: 215mm
Height: 47mm

Asking: $325 shipped conus via PayPal

Secondly,

Takada no Hamono “270” mm Ginsan Suji USED
This knife was acquired from a rad forum member last month, actually intended as a gift for my pops (got him something new). This knife has been used (a few services from me and much use from previous owners). I would say it has a lot of life left in it and of course works very well still, but could use some professional love soon…Considering its condition and getting it in a trade it’s a little hard to price. Please see pictures and ask for more if you are unsure!
Tip to heel: 250mm (this is important)
Height: 35mm

Asking: $450 shipped conus via PayPal
SOLD

Thank you pictures

That kagekiyo is a steal. Would be worth more than that with no handle.

 

[billybunka]

True I think it was round 300 from sakai! Also I should note the takada is on a konosuke handle cheers y’all

 

[blanks]
