For sale - Yoshiaki Fujiwara Workhorse, Syuuji Toyama Kasumi Usuba 240mm,

I have couple of things for sale.


Yoshiaki Fujiwara 240mm workhorse gyuto:

Total lenght:  39.6 cm
Cutting edge : 24.2 cm
Spine to heel : 5cm
Handle lenght: 14.4cm
Handle: Arizona desert Ironwood and Bog oak


I had this knife for two years. In that time it was used constantly. I have thinned this knife twice. It still has some scratches from proper thinning. Picture show actual knife. This knife was cleaned with 80 grit C Powder prior to pictures, but I have packed it in to the kitchen foil, because I was cleaning the handle. This is a reason why there are some patina stains.

I can clean this knife, polish it and sharpen it prior to shipping.

The cost is £200 GBP (British pounds), which is 310$ + shipping. Payment by paypal.







Let me know if you want more pictures.

Oohira Tomae lv 4.5

Description from JNS website:

Final finisher for razors !! Works also great on tools, very inexpensive stone for that size .
Produce very nice semi mirro finish on knives but I recommend to use it with Nagura or slurry stone
This one is on harder side so Nagura is needed for tools
But for the price very good and big stone !!

Size: 205mm 80mm 25mm





Once I have try to cut a piece of that stone with no results at all. Because of that  have left some mark on the stone.
