Withdrawn /WTB Yanick Honyaki Gyuto

[Ikonaka]

Closed out the old thread to clean up and consolidate all the tradeables.

This is the only thing I'm looking for now. I'll list everything I'm willing to trade and (with two exceptions) anything I list that doesn't go towards a trade for that elusive Yanick Honyaki will go for sale, so prod your friends to trade me that knife they have under their bed, in their cupboard, wherever they're hiding it!

Comet 210 SanMai I got from here on BST - Used not sharpened, I'd value it at $580 SOLD
Kamon 225 Massdrop - Used, not sharpened, call it $750 value? SOLD
Milan 225 ironclad - bought here, used not sharpened. I repurposed the saya from this one, so value the blade alone around $600 SOLD
Jiro Yo Nakiri 180, specifically this one (got it from Carbon, but their listing is gone) $525
Markin 240 bought here, $325
Oblivion lap weld Chinese cleaver 200x90ish, lightly used, purchased direct and Jeez removed the listing so let's say $550
Radiona Breg damascus this one lightly used, $800
Takada no Hamono Suiboku Ginsan 3 180mm santoku Takada no Hamono - Ginsanko - Suiboku - 180mm Santoku - Ho Wood Handle - Extra Thin, BNIB, $350 SOLD
Shig ku santoku, in box unused, can't find the link I bought it from, so $275
Yanick 220x58 ironclad gyuto, TRADE ONLY bought direct from the man himself last year, $625
Kippington Laser, 236x53 52100, TRADE ONLY bought from a forum member $600
Evan Antzenberger honyaki aogami 2 204mm x 51mm bought unused from a forum member and used lightly, $675

If it moves anyone's needle I'd also consider trading the Kono FM from this post

Wow. Just want to put out my hope with absolutely no expectation of it coming true..
If at some point you are willing to let go of that Dammy Fuji individually. I'll be very, very interested.

Understand that haha. I probably should've mentioned that one is in the camp of 'trade only' along with the Kipp and Yanick

I'll try to not bump this too frequently, just wanted to acknowledge all the folks that have reached out about the stuff I have listed that will go for sale in the event I find this king of unicorns. I've gotten requests about pretty much all of the really desirable stuff. I will probably reach out to those folks in order before I migrate everything to a WTS.

I also recognize that this is an extremely rare thing I'm asking for, so if you have one and you're even kind of considering it, know that I'm willing to trade pretty much any number of these knives/add cash to get the deal done. If you have a gyuto you'd even slightly consider parting with, feel free to reach out to me and we can chat!

Hot damn this is quite the drop....
If you ever decide to sell the Kippington or Yanick, let me know I'd be interested in buying.

Still searching for that Yanickorn...

That Kono

Let's try a Tuesday bump!

I'm starting to think my trade fodder probably won't tempt someone who has the Yanick I'm looking for given how rare they are. So. I'm leaving this post up as a WTB (with a gentle reminder that I'm willing to pay a premium for the right knife). BUT I'm going to start going through all the messages I got regarding individual knives I offered as trades here over the next couple of days. What doesn't sell that way will get posted in a WTS.

Withdrawing this in favor of a WTS for the remaining knives. I'm still looking for a Yanick honyaki if anyone gets the urge for a big payday, but not holding my breath.
