Wakui Kurouchi 270 gyuto, Ikeda white n2 240 gyuto

[preizzo]

Putting up for sale my Wakui

Nice blade, actually bit longer 278 mm on the edge, 54 mm tall.
Like all Wakuis this knife as a super grind and it s the thinnest 270 mm gyuto I ever had.
Come with a red ebony handle, never sharpened and I used only few times, near to new conditions.
Want 250 usd

Second blade is my Ikeda 240

Amazing blade, thin with a nice finish and grind. Just not my taste anymore (I like blade over 52 mm tall). Used it for a few times , only touched up on fine stone once.

Want 280 usd for it

I will post some photos tomorrow.

Cheers Matteo

Wakui are highly regarded performers. And ikedas are ikedas. Glws !

Is this old master Yoshikasu Ikeda? Or the young Ikeda? Also, what is the heal height?

Father ones, 49 at the heel, shirogami n 2, full reactive blade.

Forgot to mention the Wakui it s shirogami n 2, ss cladding.

That is a good deal! Say, is it Kasumi or Suminigashi?

Some pictures
I was checking now the Ikeda and I saw a little crack on the bottom of it, few mm nothing more.

 

[preizzo]

I will use some sandpaper and erase that little crack on the handle

 

[preizzo]

Ps the crack on the ikeda it s on the bottom of the handle!!!
Bump. I am lowering price of both knives for 10 usd.

Last try before I will change my mind. I will share the shipment with buyers outside Europe. Inside Europe I will include it in the price! Thanks Matteo
