Hey all!
The existence of these forums has helped me sell some unused knives, quite quickly and easily. I feel the need to give back, so I'm going to do some giveaways.
This first giveaway is for a Yoshikane SKD Tsuchime petty. It's Yoshi's SKD core, with the hammered stainless cladding. I think Yoshi SKD is probably familiar to everyone. I've owned many iterations, but these older ones have been my favorite. I would say it's taller than most Yoshi petty's I see available today. SKD takes a very nice edge, and IMO isn't as reactive as White. As mentioned, this knife is quite old. There was an LA based retailer (no not Jon!..before his store opened I believe) that sold these stainless Tsuchime versions with the burnt chestnut handles. The handle is largish, which I think is nice on a petty, and slightly D shaped. Rustic, but pretty good fit and finish, kind of like a Gengetsu handle. This knife is used, but currently has a very nice edge. Never thinned, and has original box. Shipping CONUS on me. Abroad I'll cover first $25 shipping.
Edge: 135mm
Height: 41mm
Weight: 115g
I'll ask that you've been active on the forums for at least a month. Please comment "In" in the replies, and I'll random number draw from responses on Monday Night, the 17th. Hoping this will be of interest!
