WTT WTT Jiro Yo Nakiri #436 for a Jiro gyuto

[Tler]

I somehow managed to out click everyone else and snagged this from bernal cutlery recently. It is brand new, never cut a piece of paper. As elated as I am to own a Jiro, I'm not a nakiri user and would like to trade for a Jiro gyuto (new or used). I know there are some die hard nakiri members, so I'm hoping this might work out. I paid $592 for this one and would be willing to add cash to the trade. Please message me if you're at all interested.

All the information can be found here:

Jiro 180mm Yo Nakiri Shirogami 1 Taipei Tagayasan Handle #436

Hand forged in Nagano by blacksmith Jiro Nakagawa in shirogami 1 with a soft iron cladding. Jiro knives are hand warikomi forged, ground and finished according to old techniques. There are little industrial processes employed, therefore not many knives are produced but the quality is top notch...

I will say that my measurements are a little different than the listed info.
My measurements:
183.5 mm cutting edge length
58 heel height
61 height in the middle of the blade

Ideally Yo since it's more unique, but I'd still be very happy with a Wa.

You should watch sales at karasu and tetogi.
They recently sold two Jiro nakiris but they were gone in an instant.

Different size’s and different handles + I love them but point taken…

Think it was just Karasu… and they made a in store release

You got it for a really good price!! If I were you I would keep it! Nakiris get a bad rap imho.
ANY Jiro is an absolute blessing if you ask me. I bet that thing absolutely riiiiips.

Anyhow, best of luck finding a gyuto!

Thanks. Yeah, I'll probably keep it if I can't trade it, but I'd really like to trade.
