Selling another Y. Tanaka, also from JNS. This is a 240mm damascus gyuto of the Blue 1 core variety with soft iron dammy cladding. Great knife, brand new unused? Nice profile on this one, unsurprisingly crazy thin behind the edge. Has a really classy custom ebony/horn/nickel handle, as well as the original Ho wood handle with it. Cost new is just under $600 plus the handle. Asking $525 $500 for this CONUS, or $575 Int'l. Trades? Sure, same as others, certain Kato, Kono Fuji and Ashi.

I read through this via email notification, but passed it on because of the blue2 core without even looking at the kanji. Just now rereading this thread and boooooy, do I want this BAD.
 
Guilty as charged! I don't have any damascus, though, and like the profile on this 240 quite a bit. Now would someone buy my Kono (which cuts better than my custom, FWIW, at least as it stands) so that I can sleep tonight???
