Traded for Yanick (now offering the 9Nine x2)

[captaincaed]

Hey all! I’m celebrating a personal 5-year anniversary, and there are a couple things I’m hoping to find, if possible. I’d love to offer some of my own personal favorites in exchange. Happy to put together an attractive package deal. Also happy to pay cash, but I thought trade bait would have better luck.

Looking for gyuto only, 220mm + long, in good shape.

• Yanick Puig wrought clad

Also could do

• 9.Nine honyaki found, thank you kkf
• Rader brut de forge found, thank you kkf

My offers:
All are used at home, not damaged, sharpened 2x at most. Values reflect actual cost to my door in US, minus degree of use, but of course it’s a trade, so don’t think of these as set in stone.

• Massdrop Dalman 245, mystery, $600
  • My favorite handle ever
• Newham, 245, RWL34 - $800
  • Ringed gidgee saya is some of the best woodwork I’ve ever seen.
• Bazes 173 Shiro 2 suminagashi, $500
  • Very thin (1.8mm), forged hollows, stone-ready bevels, amazing food release. Amazing knife.

Lucky you, Two out of two Massdrops, did you make the latest cut too? GLWT

 

[captaincaed]

I missed the recent one, probably best!

 

[Whit3Nitro]

Unfortunately I have nothing you’re looking for to trade but if you ever want to sell the Dalman, I’d gladly take it.

 

[captaincaed]

Well, if anyone would rather sell a Yanick for straight cash, you're first in line for the Dalman

 

[ptanks15]

Huge wtb Dalman. Sweet line up man. I'm sure a Yannick will pop up for ya.

 

[captaincaed]

I tried to put up legit trade bait. I don't want to see a single one of these go, but, you know. The Yanick is calling.

 

[captaincaed]

Knocked down a couple trade values

 

[captaincaed]

Did I mention it's my birthday soon?

Adding some love from Down Under to the Yanick fishing expedition. Western 9 anyone? Also a laser honyaki. The yo gyuto comes with the box and all the trimmings.

Specs from L to R are:
length, height, spine width at heel, weight (metric)

The Prendergast and Kamon are not available any longer, FYI.

 

[tylerleach]

Big guns!!

 

[enrico]

Specs on The Nine’s?

 

[Geigs]

That Newham saya is something else.

Posted! Thanks for the reminder.

 

[captaincaed]

Starting chats with folks as they came in, sorry didn’t expect so many so quickly…

Very nice Bazes, no Yanick unfortunately but GLWS.

 

[captaincaed]

The Nine is off to a new home where it will in very good company with other Nines. Thank you KKF and trader!

Case closed. Only a wickedly hard to find rader asai collab to go…

 

[captaincaed]

And of course thank you @pjheff for comparing me to Vanilla Ice. I think.
