Length - 230mm
Height - 50mm
Weight - 6.81 oz / 193 g
What's included
Hitohira Tanaka x Kyuzo blue #1 240mm gyuto
Original box
Price
$475 shipped to USA and PP
* Prefer to keep sales in USA. *

The square kanji is identical to the Fujiyama square. Not the writing inside, but the actual square. Thought that was interesting. Gorgeous knife all around. GLWS.
Re: WTS: Hitohira Tanaka x Kyuzo Blue #1 240mm Gyuto
These are excellent knives and this is a great price. This should go quick
Re: WTS: Hitohira Tanaka x Kyuzo Blue #1 240mm Gyuto
Really sweet knives. Had 2 at one point. It sounds cliche, and takes away from the special-ness of this knife when said, but this is about as close as one will come to a classic wide beveled B1 Fujiyama.

Re: WTS: Hitohira Tanaka x Kyuzo Blue #1 240mm Gyuto
I think this line and smith perform better than Fuji’s
Re: WTS: Hitohira Tanaka x Kyuzo Blue #1 240mm Gyuto
I disagree . Similar yes . I’ve been cutting side by side with them and I can say , the kyuzo isn’t as thin at the tip but nearly as thin at the edge overall and performance is quite outstanding !
Also , same Smith for both lines (Yoshikazu Tanaka)
Awesome knife , great price , someone better snag this one ASAP!

Cannot believe I am not going to buy this (probable going to kick myself later on) at this price/condition. I have sat with my finger hovering over the buy new button at least a dozen times.
If it matters to anyone..ashley is top notch with shipping out.

If I didn't have to buy new CPAP supplies... I'd be all over it, had it in 210 and was a little too small.
Re: WTS: Hitohira Tanaka x Kyuzo Blue #1 240mm Gyuto
I'm SOOOOO tempted by this... somebody please buy this so I don't!

Just buy it, Garrick. It's a great knife. I would buy it but I already have one.

What do you mean that wide bevels dont "jive" with you? Is there a performance difference in wide bevels? or is it by sharpening that you mean? Confused how wide bevel would change anything.ashy2classy wrote: ↑Sat Nov 10, 2018 4:17 pm Description

I guess it's a performance thing. My cutting style works better with other types of grinds it seems.appleward91 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 13, 2018 11:16 am What do you mean that wide bevels dont "jive" with you?

Buyer decided to bail and ignore my messages so this is available again. Will leave it up for the weekend then re-evaluate whether I want to sell.

This is crazy to me. Such an amazing blade, and they sell so quickly on the Hitohira site.
