SOLD Hiromoto AS 240 (Martell)

[@ftermath]

Purchased here. Dave’s posts for it are here and here. Very nice Martell rehandle and spa treatment. Great cutter. Etching is gone mostly because of use but I polished the rest off with flitz. Hot vinegar brings it back easily If you want to re-etch the AS edge. 235x46mm. 236grams. $380 $360 $350 $340 $330 $320 shipped CONUS.

With a few days of use the patina will reappear. Degreasing with alcohol prior to use will help to get it more even.

It is nuts that no one has bought this yet. We have a 210 and a 240 that received the same Martell spa treatment/ rehandle years ago, and they are excellent knives. Dave's work on the blades turned them into real performers, and the handle alone is worth half of your asking price.

It is a great knife. If I didn't purposely keep my knives pared down to only the ones I use regularly, I’d keep it.

I have a 240 with Dave's performance package, a 270 AS and a Tenmi Jyuraku Damascus. I don't ever see parting with them. This is a great blade and I too am surprised it's still here.

Not gonna lie. I’ve been tempted to take it back at that price. Someone will be very happy with this one for sure.
