Bought this from BST (SOLD - Sakai Kikumori Yoshikazu Tanaka Gyuto 240 Kurouchi, AS) as a wide bevel kurochi knife. Converted it to full convex kasumi. Installed a $70 K&S ebony handle. Used and patina removed. His AS steel does’t sharpen as easily as his blue 1/2s but still takes a scary edge. I think it’s one of the nicer AS offerings out there.
Asking for $550 shipped in the US. Price drop to $530 $500.
Measurements:
229 mm * 50.5 mm
232 gram; balanced at 1 inch ahead of the heel
3.4 mm spine out of the handle, 2.7 mm in the middle, and 1.0 mm thick at 1 cm from the tip
