WTS/WTT 150mm Toyama petty

[brainsausage]

Hey ya'll. Looking to sell/trade this brand new unused Toyama petty. Profile isn't quite what I'm looking for right now in a petty. Ideally looking to trade for a newish or lightly used Chris Reeves Small Sebenza 21, plus cash on my end to make up whatever difference we agree on. Also interested in trading for a 150 Mizuno Hontaren petty plus cash on the buyers end. Not interested in any other trades. If neither of those pan out, I'll let this go for $175 shipped in the US, international pays shipping. It's already $20 cheaper than retail, so don't hold your breath for price drops. I'll post some actual pics if need be, but the knife in the link below is identical, if not the same one(not sure how often Maxim changes his pics between restocks). Toyama's heat treat and grinds are stellar. If you're looking for a low profile line knife/garde manger knife, or just something to attack small tasks- this is your ticket.

Thanks for looking!

I have this and can't recommend it enough (the most recent review in JNS is mine). GLWS!

How's the distal taper on this guy? Would you mind posting some photos?

Distal is great. These are basically tiny versions of his gyutos. Decent spine thickness at the choil, and super thin tip. I'm at work all day, but I'll get some pics up tomorrow.

Great. Thanks

Sorry for the wait. Also for the crappy pics, the lighting in my apartment is less than optimal today.

Couple spine/distal shots




Just the tip

The grind

I shouldn't have asked for photos... I keep looking at them now

I've committed to buying a Kochi and a TF, I'm seriously thinking about doing a u turn on one of them, that's how much I like this thing

Wish I had the $$$ for this. Had a Toyama, sold it, and regret it.

How is this still here. I have one and am thrilled with it. It really is shaped like a mini gyuto. Nice heel hight fir a little guy too. HT is up with the best of them too.

Are these clad and what blue steel is it?

I believe they are blue 2 very well heat treated. Iron clad so they will patina but will be easier to thin over time than stainless cladding.
