Looking for speed, nice engagement in terms of sharpening feel - not too hard, not too soft, a bright finish, and some niceee aesthetics. In terms of slurry, i'm after the kind of stone that kicks up black swarf quickly, but gives up just a little bit of slurry to help cushion the pushin'. I'd...

Looking for a nice yellow rock to finish my progression with after a hard eastern suita with the below general characteristics: - Creamy feel (I.e not too hard) - Fast - Very fine (approaching the far end of semi mirror to mirror) - Good contrast - Detail I don’t have a massive budget, so...

Missed the drop - help a guy out 😞

*Going to put this at the top of the ad to be very clear that I am ONLY looking to trade this for another Milan knife in his classic lower bevel style, ideally between 240-270mm!* Current Pics: Specs: - 135cr3 & wrought damascus cladding - Full stone-ready convex geometry - 272mm edge...

Spine: 6mm Heel height: 50mm Edge length: 211mm Weight: 200g - A really nice little 210 with perfect specs (for me) at this size - alas, I have two other Mazaki gyuto’s and I’d like to replace this with either a rectangle or some other impulsive decision enabled through BST. - Sharpened from...

- 240g - 55mm heel height - 240mm edge length - 3mm spine width - A rarer (if you're into that kind of thing) full sumingashi version of this knife (which typically comes with KU) sold direct by Lee to a handful of individuals. - Used a handful of times, touched up on a 4k once and an Aizu one...

I received my first Western custom from Simon Maillet a few weeks back, and whilst the overall knife is great and I’m very happy with it, I did notice a few things that will need resolving in order to get the most from the knife, and facilitate a good future polish. They include: - Some warps...

Price: £400 + shipping Specs: - 253 x 51 mm - 267g Condition & Notes: - Used but well loved - I have only touched the edge up on a 4k twice, but am not the first owner. The heel height suggests it has been sharpened very little if at all prior to my ownership. - I have refinished the knife in...

Lazy twist, half twist, tight twist, nickel twist, ferric etch, coffee etch, Vitamin C etch etc… Twists and etching (especially with wrought cladding) seem to be having a moment, and I don’t think we have a dedicated thread to act as a single reference point denoting their aesthetic...

Having a punt for ARM! Tall and beefy ones welcome, 180mm ish length. Super rounded tips are not it for me. Bonus points if the cladding has interesting polish potential - iron/wrought clad preferred. I don't mind if the grind needs a little work, I could do with a project.

Inspired by @Gavva’s real nice new custom… Trade value: £900 (I got slaughtered on customs fees, but we can talk) Specs: - 242 x 54 mm - 318g Condition & Notes: - Bought BNIB last year from a user and have used it lightly since then. - Sharpened from 1k once, and stropped a few times. - The...

Nine is soft iron over Blue 2 with some nice details visible in the cladding and a fab workhorse grind (which has been very respectfully thinned by @kpham12) that is still nimble at the tip. 240x54mm / 277g Looking for a workhorse Milan >240mm or possibly the right Yanick without a super...

I am at a point where I like everything in my collection quite a lot, but I would quite like to slim it down to just the bare minimum (for now). I have a few customs on their way over the next few months too, so i'm going to have to find some space somewhere... (A small note on pricing: Some of...

Felt frisky, might delete later…

Mizukihara Uchigumori with Renge - £430 190 x 68 x 43mm 1494g A really nice clean and consistent chunk of stone with some lovely renge patterning originally sold on here by Milan. A little harder, finer and arguably more versatile than my other Uchi, albeit slightly slower. The stone will...

£500 205 x 78 x 30mm 1248g I believe this to be a Hatanaka mining corp stone. Label on the original box is ripped unfortunately. It’s very fast and quite fine, instantly kicking up black metal swarf with not much in the way of mud unless you force a slurry. It will create a glossy and...

Yeah so somehow I haven’t dabbled with Fingerstones yet and would like to pick up a range as the final *chef’s kiss* for a benchstone progression or to use in their own right. I’m thinking uchi, Kiita, and maybe something in between? Hit me up 🥰

A few unicorns have recently come my way, and I'm having to make some very difficult decisions about what to let go to fund them... I recently re-fitted the knife with a custom rosewood and horn handle which brings the balance point back to a point that is still slightly blade forward, but to a...

A few personal unicorns have popped up, so time to dangle some heat until I’ve recouped the funds I need, after which point I’ll withdraw the rest for sale as I don't actually want to sell any of them... Measurements for edge length and height are taken to the best of my ability, but I don’t...
