[Danejah]

For Sale: Migoto White #1 240mm Gyuto Nakagawa x Kawakita (recent batch, new profile)

Specs:

This is a really nice. I've been on a bit of a buying spree trying stuff out, and I am reluctantly letting this go. Given the love this knife receives it was an itch I had to scratch. I have used the knife only a few times and it has started to form a pretty nice patina which you can tell by the pictures. Factory edge. This knife was $422 with $50 for shipping, all in at $460 also open to trades based on what's listed below

Selling: $425 shipped CONUS

Possible trades: let me know what you've got, not super interested in a trade but could be persuaded if something different

I have one with almost identical specs from this batch and I LOVE it. Someone will be very happy with this. GLWS!

Nice blade. Is this one right-specific ground? Looks flat on left side, convex on right? Always hard to tell in a photograph.

Does this help?

Looks 50/50 to me based on that!!!

These are SO good. Someone will be very happy.

There’s a bit more going on with the geometry closer to the edge. The right edge is certainly convex but the other side has almost a subtle hollow or s grind to it. I think this might lend it some of its amazingly smooth cutting performance.

Convex:

S grind? Hollow?

I just got a Takada and its like this. Hollow/almost flat on the left side and starts to convex at the middle/front third of the blade. Unfortunately I’m a lefty

I feel you. I'm left handed but for some reason have always used in my right hand for cutting? I lucked out on knives but know what it's like living as a lefty in a righty world.

Thanks for the tag, but I have one of these. Awesome knife.

I have one of these too, and I love it. The Kawakita grind is really something, makes me wanna try other Kawakitas.

This knife will smoke so many more expensive blades out there. Not sure why it's still available.
