SOLD Xerxes Primus Honyaki

[Brian Weekley]

It’s time to find this very nice Xerxes Primus Honyaki a new home. It’s simply not getting enough use in my kitchen and deserves better.

It’s a special knife, forged from 125SC steel. Copper ferrule, the handle material is bog oak and the knife is very nice in hand for me. It offers a blade length of 245mm, an edge length of 228mm, depth at the heel of 50mm. Blade thickness measured at the spine varies from 2.85mm at the heel, 2.79mm mid blade and 1.55mm 1” from the tip. I’m looking to sell it for $975 shipped and insured in North America.

Here is a few pics …

It was much easier to resist those other Primuses...

I kind of miss this one. It looked pretty nice after I had polished and lightly etched it. Believe these are originally etched in a coffee brine? But once polished the hamon really popped. Plus the patina it took afterwards was just nuts.
New Owner should be pretty pleased
