SOLD /WTT Raquin & Jiro #240

[Scott]

Hi KKF,

I have few knives for sale because I have too many and I'm trying to keep a control on the numbers.

They're all amazing and I don't want to let them go but I would like to try to do so while I have convinced myself I can let them go.



In terms of trades, I'd swap this for something between 210mm-240mm from The Nine or something along the same lines that is stainless from Dan Bidinger.
Open to other options, don't hesitate to reach out to me.
- If we go the trade route, we can renegotiate trade values accordingly.


Will let these sit for 24hrs to 48 hrs to evaluate my trade options. If you reach out to me to buy the knives, I will reach back accordingly





Raquin 145sc - 201mm (SOLD)
Letting this go for $650USD $600USD



Steel: 145sc, xc10 Cladding
Finish: Kasumi/Stone Finished Bevels
Heel Height: 48mm

Really nice knife but I don't give it the attention it deserves
Keeping the saya is just an incentive for me to buy another knife to fill its place, that's why I'd like to let it go with the knife

@ChristopherS

I think you were looking for a 240 Jiro

That jiro is beautiful. Really want to try one of his and this looks like a stellar example. And at that weight it just sounds soooooo fun

If I didn’t have #241 I would be all over this Jiro! saving a GLWS for someone that needs it!

 

[Sirius]

Pm’d on the Jiro

 

[Razig]

Pm sent on Jiro

 

[Scott]

I would like to add an amendment that for now, I’ll prefer to keep sales in the US and Canada

 

[Dall]

@Tler maybe a Jiro trade

Right hand bias

Alright, gonna assume I got a wide range of audience already.

Will start reaching out in terms of the selling route if no other trade deals pop up in the next 2-3hrs

I owned almost this exact same Jiro… I sold it… and I’m still tempted by it! Jiro’s knives are just so so special. The one I owned had almost identical specs. If anyone is contemplating this knife, GO FOR IT! You won’t be let down. My 255 Yo Jiro will probably be buried with me

I think you were looking for a 240 Jiro

Super interested and thanks for mentioning.

Since its already in CONUS i think its probably better price wise to keep it there.

GLWS

Jiro sold to the first person on my list.

Raquin dropped to $600 with the saya.
