Yoshikazu Ikeda 270 honyaki gyuto - SOLD!
Yoshikazu Ikeda 270 honyaki gyuto - SOLD!
For your consideration, a 270mm Yoshikazu Ikeda shirogami 2 honyaki gyuto finished by Kasahara. I have been exploring honyakis for a bit now and between what I have and whats on the way, I have some redundancy. I have this exact same knife in blue steel on order so I'm letting this one go. I am the original owner.
Specs:
226g
254mm heel to tip
280mm handle to tip
3.0mm spine above heel
2.4mm spine at mid length
1.4mm spine 1cm from tip
50.2mm tall
Octogonal Ho wood with black horn ferule
This knife is definitely of the workhorse variety. I sharpened the knife upon arrival and touched it up once or twice. It has patina that is difficult to photograph but I have used it several times. The buffalo horn ferrule has a crack but it feels solid. I figure most people would want to put a custom handle on anyway. Comes with original box. I got a good deal on the knife and I'm selling for considerably less than I paid due to the cracked ferule. Also, I want it to sell fast so I can buy Ray's Tanaka.
Asking $625 shipped domestic. Buyer to pay any fees. I will ship international for additional cost.
Cracked ferrule

One of those knife regret stories in the making
Re: Yoshikazu Ikeda 270 honyaki gyuto - SOLD!
This is another maker that I've been eyeing.....
This is an awesome knife and one hell of a deal.
But.
honestly I really can't justify using a knife as beautiful as this in a pro kitchen.
I'm sure at some point I will.
Till then!
I do however dig his non-honyaki work I've seen.
I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who owns one for some feedback. I've had one review of sorts so far.
