SOLD Yoshikane SLD Damascus Western 240mm gyuto

[thebradleycrew]

Selling my Yoshikane SLD Damascus Western 240mm gyuto. Great knife, that I'm not using as expected. This is one of the older models I believe, as the newer one are the etched "black" versions while this is the polished damascus version. Typical high quality SLD core and heat treat. Takes a really toothy edge and holds it well. Nice distal taper on this and great convexity, more so than the newer Yoshikane I've handled and used, and good heel height. Includes saya!

Asking $700 CONUS $750 Int'l.

I legit hate these kinds of unnecessary posts on BST threads, but this one feels special. Are these even in production anymore?

I don't believe they are available or in production, nor have they been for some time. But there is definitely a chance I've just not seen them out there...

Forgot to add one thing: I'd be open to trade for certain Shi.Han knives, and certain Takada knives. If someone wants to trade, just LMK. I'd keep trade value the same.

Ooph that's a steal. Having handled both, I think these westerns are a bit better than the yo-handled black damascus versions.

I get the feeling this would sell faster on Reddit
