Want to rehome this Nigara Hamono VG10 Tsuchime Damascus Santoku 180mm since it is not getting the amount of use it deserves.
It was used and also sharpened a couple of times on a 1000 and a 3000 whetstone. Therefore it has some scratches which you can see on the images of this post but it doesn’t affect the performance of the knife.

Specs:
Overall lenght: 310mm
Blade lenght: 183mm
Blade height: 49mm
Weight: 165g
Handle lenght: 127mm

Asking 150€ + Shipping (PayPal G&S)

If you want more pictures or have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.

… with a couple of Gyutos like you usually see on this sub but I went to Japan and I bought only what I needed even if it was hard to resist sometimes.
First of all I had such a good time here and would recommend to anyone who hasn’t been to Japan yet and is able to do it to just do it even if it is not for the sake of knives! But knife shopping here is a bliss. Service at the knife shops was throughout nice and everyone tried to help!

The bread knife is a Hitohira Imojiya TH Stainless Bread Knife 240mm Ho Wood WA Handle which I bought it in Tokyo at the Hitohira Store.

The Yanagiba was bought in Sakai at the Denkoshan (Traditional crafts museum). It is a K-Tip Yanagiba 240mm in white #3 sharpened by Kasshars Shigehiro. And that’s were I could need some help of all the wise people from this sub. They couldn’t tell me the blacksmith of the knife and I would love to know. Is anyone able to identify the blacksmith of the knife?

Haven‘t tested both of the knife because I’m not home yet but I‘m looking forward to do!

And finally, how did I do? 😄
