For your consideration, a Tesshu 300mm Gyuto in white #2 By Shiraki. This is a catch and release with a quick finger stone polish thrown in for free. The knife looks way better than new IMHO. I've only made a few test cuts before polishing and just touched up the edge once after polishing. I found that 270mm is my current limit. For those that like a larger knife, this is a prep beast with a very nice grind ending in a very usable tip. Horizontal cuts through onions were easy and smooth and the knife is thin behind the edge with a robust spine. Asking $285 shipped, buyer responsible for fees if any. I will ship internationally for additional shipping cost.
Specs:
287mm
52mm tall at the heel
294g
Spine above heel 4.7mm
Spine at half length 3.3mm
Spine 1cm from tip .8mm
Nice octoganal rosewood w/ horn ferule
Nicely eased spine and choil
Comes with original box

Re: WTS Shiraki Tesshu 300mm Gyuto
GLWS and very nice finish. Too bad it has a faux shinogi, I thought they were true wide bevels. That is a let down for sure. It looks better now with what you have done to it than the stock images, though! Way too much knife for me.
Re: WTS Shiraki Tesshu 300mm Gyuto
It is a true wide bevel, just not as precise a grind as they appear. It is a very nice grind in terms if performance. Many knives are finished this way from from lots of different makers.

Re: WTS Shiraki Tesshu 300mm Gyuto
Interesting. It does not look like it after your finish. It looks great. Thank you for the clarification! Now, if only it were a 210 or even a 240...
Re: WTS Shiraki Tesshu 300mm Gyuto
Bump. These are not in stock and I don't think I've ever seen another one.
