Hey all!

Shot in the dark. Always wanted to try a shihan, always loved aeb-l, stars have never aligned for me.

Had a lead on a 270 jiro one day and it never came to fruition.

Totally different knives but both are high on my list. Would be stoked if either broke free from a generous owners drawer/hoarding pile. Can be beat up and used well.

Have some fun trades possibly depending on what you’re into.

Thanks!
 
Might want to change the thread prefix to WTB to get more eyes.
 
Based on your timing, I think you likely didn't snag the 260mm gyuto he posted, but it was up for like an hour. Not aeb-l, but still an option. Maybe keep an eye on his social media as he does seem to be making more knives again

There’s a Shi.han Nakiri up on the site rn
 
oooo don't tempt me with a good rectangle. Thanks much for letting me know! I have a looooot of rectangles (and a lot of 270's) but what I don't have is a 270 full stainless workhorse (I guess a devin itk is a workhorse in spirit and practice but not in grind.)
 
Boy that looks like a fun one. Never seen it before, haven't seen a stainless kamon offering yet. But shihan's forged aeb-l does the things to me, especially the kurouchi.

OOooooOOO, the man himself liked this post?!?! If you want to do a forged rustic stainless 270 workhorse prototype (Niolox perhaps?), I'll be your guinea pig in a heartbeat...
