SOLD /WTT 270mm Watanabe Gyuto (price drop)

[VincenteFox]

I got this in a trade here. It doesn't have any problems but doesn't really mesh with my preferences, so it just sits around and I never use it. I believe it's stainless-clad blue #2.

UPDATE: Fine! i went ahead and got out my calipers and took some new pictures. These are from me and im raising the price $5 because of the hassle!

Edge length: 272 mm
Height at the heel: 57 mm
Spine thickness at heel: 4.5 mm
Spine thickness halfway down: 2.3 mm (holds that until close to the tip)
Weight: 249 g

Asking $330 $300 $280 $285 shipped conus.

To the OP, the price is very reasonable. If its not selling post more measurements, pictures, and specs.

Paid this price for my little 180 wat pro..

Curious what the differences are in the “standard” vs “pro” lines. Both are SS clad B2

 

[VincenteFox]

I honestly can't tell, and I've tried to figure it out--and I can't be sure where it came from/under what banner, technically, since I didn't buy it originally, but I would assume it's not pro. But it's a good knife and a good price for someone who wants a Wat. I just don't find that I do, and it sits around taking up room in the kitchen, so I'd rather send it to someone who will use it.

I don’t know anything about the non pro watanabe. I had assumed it was a pro. The markings look the same as my wat pro purchased directly from watanabe, but I am unfamiliar with his marking preferences for his different lines.

 

[VincenteFox]

It could be, I just don't know; on his site, it definitely looks more in line with the pro line, but there are some wat/toy non-pros elsewhere that also look like that. I ultimately just accepted it for what it is and gave up on trying to figure out his distinctions.

 

[VincenteFox]

I broke down and measured it you  jerks

 

[VincenteFox]

Also editing on my phone was a bad idea and i made some sort of mess of the op but im leaving it alone before i mess it up.more

What a great price, tempted even though I don't need a 270. GLWS

You  might need one. Better safe than sorry.

 

[VincenteFox]

I would also accept offers including, as full or partial payment, a nakiri, cleaver, or boning knife.
