Here are some pics for you or anyone who is interested. It's a 210mm gyuto with a 50/50 edge. I like 210 or even 180 as I do not have large countertop space nor do I cut big objects. I will need to search my original receipt if I can find it, I did get it locally and I will ask for what I paid for it
. FYI, Blonde buffalo horn is harder to find, in fact, all the latest sakai takayuki at razorsharp only come in black buffalo horn, and I know for a fact that even sukenari has trouble sourcing it.
Won't be selling so soon though, as I will need to find a replacement first (a cheaper one
). I love using this knife, it's really user friendly, easy to sharpen, takes a really sharp edge and holds it decently (of course, nothing like blue steel or zdp). I believe it's AEB-L core with a suminagashi pattern stainless cladding. The saya needs a pin tho, all these japanese sayas loosen in our climate.
I may do a bundled deal with my Naniwa green brick of joy stone (#2000) which really is a fantastic stone (better feedback than Naniwa superstone) - costs $100 and it's a huge heavy stone that will take you maybe 2 lifetimes to whittle it to nothing
Anyways, enough talking...
And a bonus knife pic....
