Testing the waters with this one. On the "other" forum this type of thing has been done a few times so I wanted to try it on KKF. I just purchased a 270mm Jiro gyuto and given the recent love/hate about the pricing of these, I was wondering if a group of 10 or so users would want to try it so more real-world feedback could be given about these hyped-up knives.
Also, because of the price and scarcity of this knife, I'd ask for $25 from each user so there's some motivation to not beat the **** out of it. At the end of the passaround, I'd put it up for sale for the retail price minus the passaround funds received. Assuming there are 10 participants at $25 each, that would be about $600 sale price.
EDIT: those that participated in the PA will get first dibs and their PA fee will be deducted from the final cost. If there are multiple parties interested, I'm not sure what I'll do. LOL!
Below is a link to the knife that was purchased. I'll post photos of the knife tonight or tomorrow.

Any feedback is appreciated. PM me if you're interested so I can keep track. TIA!
