Takeda Iron-clad AS (not the new stainless NAS) "Medium" Gyuto
Selling this NEW unused Takeda for a friend. It still has the factory lacquer on it. He told me it was purchased a few years back from Tosho. I don't own any Takedas to compare it with, but I can say that it's extremely thin. At the middle of the blade, I'd estimate it to be around 1mm thick in the center. I can't measure it with my calipers because of the forged thicker areas in the grind. So I included a photo with a flat edge to try and show what the grind along the blade sorta looks like. Behind the edge has the signature Takeda thicker section for food release, and behind that is a thinner sort of forged concave section.
$200 shipped paypal F&F & insured within US or Canada (Int'l can PM me to discuss)
Includes original box
Dimensions
Blade length: 248mm
Height at Heel: 66mm
Weight: 154g
Balance: approx 40mm forward
Spine Thickness
Heel: 2.2mm
Mid: 1.8mm
1cm from Tip: 0.9mm
