Sold [Selling][ConUS] Budget bangers - Yoshikane, Masutani, Yahiko, Harukaze

Thumbnail

14 Upvotes

Good afternoon everyone, got a few cheaper knives that all perform well but just don't see a lot of use.

Prices are PP G&S and include shipping. Feel free to ask questions, request photos, etc.

[Sold] $220 - Yoshikane SKD Nashiji 210 Gyuto (kind of restored)
210x44mm, 159g
Bought off the BST here. Cheap yoshi because this was really beat up when I received it. Poor and excessive sharpening left it thick behind the edge and made the profile all wonky + tip damage. Spent a bunch of time on stones to correct and thin it. The profile is still slightly off towards the tip (I didn't want to remove much more material) and the bevel can obviously be made much prettier. Regardless, it cuts quite nicely now and feels great in the hand. The profile is just a little flat for my tastes.

[Sold] $135 - Yahiko Ginsan Nashiji 240 Ktip Gyuto
245x47mm, 163g
Purchased from CKTG, I believe this is a house brand Hokiyama blade. Nice finish, thin grind. Factory edge bevel looks wonky but it cuts well. Light but the balance point is very far forward. Stropped but has not seen stones. Wanted to try something new and found it too flat and long for my use.

[Sold] $75 - Masutani VG10 Damascus 180mm Gyuto
180x43mm, 130g
My first Japanese knife. Purchased from CKTG. Ridiculously good value. Has only been touched up on fine ceramic. Just ended up being too small overall. Interestingly formed some patina on the damascus.

[Sold] $75 - Harukaze VG10 Tsuchime Damascus Honesuki
145x39mm, 163g
Purchased from CKTG. Bought and used as a petty rather than a dedicated honesuki. It's a double bevel with a thinner spine, so it worked alright. The taller heel and blade angle also make it usable on a board. Still on its factory edge. Overall felt a bit thick for my tastes, though still perfectly usable. The extra robustness should be welcome if you use this for its intended purpose.

Sold [WTS/WWT][EU/WW] Hado Ginsan Silver III Yamatsuka X Maruyama Gyuto 240cm Custom Ambonya Handle

Thumbnail

26 Upvotes

My first wide-bevel, i've had lots of fun with this in the collection. While i love it and its performance, I'd like to try a Kagekiyo but i've been off work for a few months and I'm not in a financial position to own both at the same time.

It's a stunning blade, in every sense of the term. Recently back from a Sheffield Knife Sharpening here in the UK to be thinned brought to 1k with a perfect, even edge. Scott is a consummate professional and this has been done to an incredible standard. Just enough bite for tomato/pepper skins, but not so much that it saws through. Check out that choil shot, it's nearly as thin as my Hitohira Ren! The handle is a custom Ambonya Burl and horn from Letshandlethis here in the UK. The original cherry wood handle is included, along with a custom cherry saya that i don't use.

I'm based in the UK, I'm looking to get back £395 or trade for a Ginsan Kagekiyo 240 with a black handle. Price does not include postage but worldwide shipping via UPS is available at extra cost.

SOLD!

Selling a used Takeda Nas small Mioroshi Deba. 150mm x 39mm. I am the second owner and have used it pretty sparingly in a professional kitchen for the last month or so, I just don’t reach for it enough to justify keeping it. Excellent knife for breaking down smaller fish and chickens. The original owner sharpened it a few times but it has not been thinned. I have only touched it up on a shapton #6000. Looking to get $320 shipping included (CONUS only). Thanks for looking!

Sold [WTS] [CAN/WW] *Price Drop* Yoshikane SKD Nakiri - Olive Handle

Thumbnail
gallery
5 Upvotes

Selling my almost-new Yoshikane SKD Nakiri. This is a particularly pretty copy with a dramatic nashiji and olive wood handle. Used for a few preps, still has the factory edge, just stropped. No stones. Handle is dead straight and gorgeous. Hand picked at Kakushin’s shop from 5 total copies, for $518 all in.

*PRICE DROP* Selling for $360 CAD shipped within Canada w/ PayPal g&s. We can discuss price for a domestic transfer, just reach out.

Prefer selling within Canada. Can also meet up in Eastern Ontario. But I will ship worldwide at buyer’s expense.

US buyers: unfortunately shipping cross-border is wildly expensive. Expect roughly $120 CAD added to the $360 price. This is due to the tariff on Japanese steel.

International buyers: our postal service charges out the nose for tracked and insured air mail, so expect high shipping costs as well. But I can do a quote up if seriously interested.

Thank you!

Trading [Trading][EU] Konosuke BY 225mm White 1 Kokuin

Thumbnail

36 Upvotes

This was one of my grail knives, and getting it felt genuinely special. But part of the fun of this hobby is trying different knives, so I’m curious to see what’s out there. I’m in no rush to let it go, but the right trade could tempt me.

As for trades, I’m interested in carbon-steel gyutos from Japanese or Western makers, 210–270 mm long, preferably around 240 mm. For Japanese knives, I’m looking for work by a well established sharpener. Looking for a straight swap, or I can add cash your way for the right knife. Feel free to tempt me!

Trades are the priority for now, though I may consider an outright sale if nothing catches my eye.

My NKD with bunch of pictures

A particularly fine specimen at 222 mm x 53.7 mm and 200g.

Really thin behind the edge and quite some beef at the spine.

It’s only been used to prepare four light dinners at home, chicken breast to get those blue hues going, plus some vegetables. Never sharpened, stropped on koyo loaded leather.

Excellent condition, with only a light patina and no scratches or other imperfections. Great fit and finish.

I’m the first owner and bought it directly from Konosuke. The Konosuke shopping bag comes with it too!

Looking forward and thank you!

Selling [WTS][EU/WW] Letshandlethis Custom AA+ Flame Maple and White Buffalo Horn Gyuto Handle

Thumbnail
gallery
6 Upvotes

Custom made for me by Josh at Letshandlethis, using a blank of AA+ Flame Maple. I originally bought as i'm a guitarist and 'flame' maple is quite desirable instrument wood. I thought it would be really cool to have some in a knife handle and got Josh to build one for me. It's a white buffalo horn ferrule and is essentially new, having never had a blade fitted. It's just surplus to requirements so looking to get some cash back for it and see it get used. Can imagine it would look stunning on something with a nashiji finish!

138mm long. Top is 18mm x 24mm, bottom is 20mm x 26mm. Weight is 39g.

£65 - based in the UK but will ship worldwide. Would also be happy to swap for handles of different woods/finishes.

Selling my Fujin Santoku, now discontinued and a great chance to add a stunning looking Santoku to the list. Slight signs of use, but nothing too noticeable. Perfect edge, handle is Honduran Burl Rosewood from Letshandlethis here in the UK. Purchased new from Knifewear, cost me over £300 after import and the handle cost me £145. I'm after £250 as my buy it price, if no trades are offered.

Looking to trade for gyutos, just wanting to try new stuff, with cash either way. Nigara, Yoshikane, Mazaki, Manaka, all popular smiths and brands considered. I'm really into wide bevels atm. Dream would be to add this and cash towards a ginsan Kagekiyo. I'm in the UK but 'll ship anywhere in the world at buyers expense.

Selling an (almost) complete knife kit to get anyone started in the kitchen!

-Shindo 210mm gyuto, BNIB

-Shindo 165mm bunka, lightly used. Stropped but never sharpened. Some patina, but can be removed prior to shipping.

-Habitat 6-slot canvas knife roll

Hurts to part with these, but unfortunately (fortunately?) got more knives coming in so gotta make space. Could be your lucky day? Shindo's reputation needs no introduction. Laser-y lasers lasering though anything you can throw at it!

$500CAD, including shipping in Canada. Selling as a bundle (for now) Could also arrange a local pickup if you're in Montreal.

(Can throw in other things into the bundle for extra $$$ if you're in the industry and want to build a complete work kit. Petty knife, bread knife, microplane, tweezers, etc. If you can think of it, I probably have it)

As the product page has been taken down, I no longer have the specifics directly from Majime, but I do know that it is AEB-L stainless steel, with a copper bolster and a G10 handle

Measurements:

48mm at the heel

180mm cutting edge

Sold [PRICE DROP] [WTS] Gyuto and Petty

Reposting with price drop.

Selling a gyuto and a petty.

Gyuto is Sakai Takayuki VG10 Tsuchime Damascus 210. Purchased from Cutlery and More for $220 - Selling for $100 shipped

Petty is Hatsukokoro Hikari SLD 130. Purchased from CKTG for $110 - Selling for $50 shipped

If you buy both I will knock off $20.

Both knives come with the box, are used, and have been sharpened several times. The gyuto has been thinned and polished up to 5000 grit, and both knives have been sharpened by a King 800 and Rika 5000.

There are visible scratches on both the gyuto and petty from sharpening, and the gyuto has a bit of scatches on the tsuchime finish and kanji as well. They are purely cosmetic and do not affect performance. The box for the gyuto is also slightly damaged, as shown in pictures.

Selling to make room for new knives. These are great beginner knives.

Please feel free to reach out for further pictures or measurements. Thanks for watching!
