Withdrawn Y. Tanaka/Sakai Kikumori custom B1 gyuto/suji set

[heldentenor]

I can’t believe I’m selling these, but here we are.

Matched set of Sakai Kikumori gyuto/suji made to custom specifications in Blue #1 steel. So-bokashi finish. Matching ebony handles with marble horn ferrules.

Gyuto:
Emoto to tip: 275mm
Edge heel to tip: 260mm
Height at heel: 58.5mm
Weight: 246g

Sujihiki:
Emoto to tip: 285mm
Edge heel to tip: 271mm
Height at heel: 41mm
Weight: 240g

Both are very, very gently used. My edge on the gyuto, sharpened once on a Morehei 8000 and stropped on leather and a CrOx loaded strop. Original edge on the suji; never sharpened nor stropped.

Selling as a package deal for $1400 shipped in the ConUS. Take the gyuto or sujihiki alone for $700 shipped.

Holy ****. If the gyuto wasn't so tall I'd be all over this. GLWS!!!

 

[Chang]

damn, with an edge slim too?! this is one helluva DEAL

 

[heldentenor]

If anyone is interested in the suji alone, it's available for $700 shipped. Don't want to sell the gyuto alone at this time. Updated main post to reflect that.

Love those handles

Someone should buy this set, then get a custom petty from Strata to match and never buy another knife again.

It's me, I'm someone...

Bump.

Dat gyuto…

 

[ashy2classy]

Bump for a stellar seller and listing. This is such a good deal.

 

[heldentenor]

Gyuto and suji are both available for $700 each shipped in the USA. International buyers, contact me and we can work something out on shipping.

I sincerely am shocked to see this still up. That gyuto is such a rare prize. And the whole package deal is unreal.

Nah. Not shocked. Priced high. Will sell when lowered. Or patiently wait . . .

Thanks for the unsolicited editorial comment on a B&S thread, @Cliffkol. You go find a custom Tanaka with these specs for this price and let me know how that goes.

These are both withdrawn from sale.

Only knives that are hyped, are super flashy, or are rare seem to sell at normal prices these days. Otherwise, it seems that everyone expects 50% off...SMH. Hope you find a buyer!

Am i too late? I’m interested..

You should have reported the post, it was an unwarranted comment on price.

Great find! If you paid $1000 or less you still got a bargain! What did you buy it for in the end?

Sorry, late reply! I bought it for $700. This was such a steal IMO compared to other knives out there. I love everything about it
