Withdrawn Willow Forge Honyaki cleaver

[Matt Jacobs]

I won this gorgeous guy a couple of weeks ago and it showed up today. I will probably change my mind and not want to trade this, but I've never been a cleaver guy so I wanted to throw this out there in case there's somebody who is. I got it for free so I'm not looking to sell. I mainly just looking to trade for another high-end gyuto. Would be looking for something like Bazes or Kamon. Shoot me a DM if you have any interest, otherwise I'll probably pull it and start using it this weekend. This thing is absolutely incredible. Some of the nicest fit and finish work I've ever seen.

Neil's work is gorgeous. He's a professional artist/sculptor and it really shows. I have one of his nakiris and I'm on his list for a custom gyuto.

It is something else. The fit and finish is beyond perfect it's also thinner than any of my other S-grinds

I cant wait to use it any longer so I am just going to keep it and enjoy
