HI all,

I find myself in a predicament with too many gyutos and only two hands so hoping to sell some off to balance the books a bit.

Willing to ship international - will cover first $20 after that would buyer cover the rest.

Great little knife but because it is a Sakai knife it does come out a bit shorter (estimating… 200mm in blade length when I compare it against my other “210mm” knives. It has a custom handle from Out On a Limb. I find the handle is very comfortable because it is larger and fits my medium to larger size hands well. It does put the weight right at the choil.
I also opted for the professional sharpening from Tokushu otherwise not touched except for a few onions and stuff.
I would say the grind is pretty medium- definitely a solid medium work horse but is very nimble.
I wont be horribly sad if this doesn’t sell though…only used once or twice never sharpened after the initial

Wonderful knife very light and nimble. The tip is also very thin. Has a few small scratches (not sure how they got there… tried my best to capture them in the light but they are hairline and a bit hard to capture on photos (I’m not the best photographer).
