Made and ground by Matus, heat treat by Robin Dalman, unknown carbon steel but my first guess would be 52100, second would be 26c3 based on how the edge feels and the nature of the patina. Its carbon mono regardless, that part is clear. Never sharpened by me, very light home use. 175x30, 86g...

Us lefties know too well how hard it is to find decent single bevel knives at decent prices. Usually 50%+ more than the right handed versions 🤢 I think what we have here is a pretty nice lefty deba for a very nice price. Very light home use, don’t think it’s ever touched a bone, never...

Picked this up from Jesse Beatson over on facebook’s Japanese knife group. He polished it nicely and put new scales on the handles which look to be stabilized hardwood of some kind. The result is a slimmer handle with great fit and finish and a little more of a tactical look. Oh yeah, and it’s...

Not sure if any others are floating around, this could easily be a one of one and great opportunity for a lucky lefty to own a lefty s-grind, especially from a maker of this caliber. Xerxes lefty s-grind gyuto in 1.2419.05 at 64hrc. 230x51, 163g The monosteel feels great for stiffness and...

Fun little knife, great potential for garlic, herbs etc…I only used it for buttering my kid’s toast because it worked weirdly well for that with the hollow grind minimizing stiction. Micarta full tang handle. 90x62, 139g $95 -> $75 CONUS

180mm blue1 squid petty. Really nice on draw cuts, especially on raw proteins, due to the forward swept heel. Great for general trimming and really excels at smaller portioning tasks like cubing chicken. 185 (155 edge)x34, 120g. Pretty cool opportunity to try blue 1 at a super low price point...

Probably the cheapest western integral you’ll see. 26c3 core, 185x52, 149g, comes with saya I retrofitted to accommodate the integral bolster $195 CONUS

Anryu aogami 2 Honesuki, stainless clad. Very light use, I was just using it as a tall petty for a bit, I don’t think it’s ever touched a bone. Double bevel 150x39, 113g $125 -> $115 -> $95 CONUS

Picked up a few of these TF Tsubayas because the price is so good. Seems like the bolster and tsuchime of the maboroshi line with the white 1 HT of the nashiji line, but I can’t be sure. 240x53, 232g $225 CONUS

Blenheim integral damascus slicer, very nice stiff and solid feel. Bought during my all-consuming integral phase. Converted a cheap saya to fit, no easy task on a tapering integral, comes free. The blade takes a really nice blue patina. 265x45, 278g Nice taper: 6 mm (above heel) -> 2mm...

Building a set of Saji aogami rainbow western ironwood handled knives, reach out if you have something from this series you are trying to unload thanks

Very light home use, this about as cheap as R2/SG2 gets. Also, I understand that tojiro is stopping their use of R2/SG2 due to difficulties with sourcing. 215x45, 194g $135 CONUS

I also bought one of these Sabs from Nick. The build quality is some of the best I’ve ever felt, amazing integral bolster and crazy distal taper. A perfect board/counter knife for odds and ends. Apparently the blanks are pre-WW2 drop forged and then were hidden in unmarked warehouses to prevent...

This could be a good gyuto/petty set for the 240/180 fans out there. The gyuto is 228x52, 263g, the petty is 180x32, 107g. Gyuto $200 CONUS Petty $150 CONUS Bought as a pair: $300 CONUS

Shake a tree, see what falls out. I know these can be a little difficult to unload here

If anyone grabbed one from tokushu and isn’t vibing I’d be happy to discuss taking it off your hands, even at a premium. “Need” 🙄 this for slicing the duck prosciutto I’ve been making 😃
