1.) Takeda AS 210mm Bunka
8 1/2" cutting edge
14 1/2" overall
Aogami Super blue core steel with reactive iron cladding
Octagonal rosewood handle with pakkawood ferrule
This one initially came to me quite thick behind the bevels which caused some gnarly wedging. I sent it directly to Mr. Takeda who thinned it out for me and it slices like a dream now.
Used for a few weeks for veg prep in my kitchen, lightly sharpened a couple times. Some patina forming. Some light sharpening scuffs. Comes sharp.
Extremely lightweight and nimble, wide blade, flat blade profile, I love everything about this knife. I won't be too upset if it doesn't sell.
Comes with original box.
I paid $300 for this new, plus a $50 tracked and insured trip back to Japan for the regrind.

Excellent slicer, and all around performer, I've really enjoyed this knife. Very light, very thinly ground.
Used for a couple months for veg prep in my home kitchen.
Sharpened a few times and thinned out some at the edge, some sharpening scuffs visible. Comes sharp.
Bevels are a bit uneven in places due to some slight waviness in the blade, doesn't effect performance whatsoever. No overgrinds or food accordioning issues.
Plenty of patina, no rust or pitting.
Handle has been smoothed out with 600 grit sandpaper and treated with mineral oil. Feels great.
Comes with original box, stamped quality assurance card, and coin.
I paid $160 for this.
