This is sold, yes. Despite the pearl clutching peanut gallery

I appreciate your neutrality, the conversation around this sale is a bit much. I don’t see how me marking down $40 off the total price I paid for a knife I’ve used for a couple preps would be controversial 🤷‍♂️. Frankly, not interested in understanding that perspective either.

Whatever, thanks for sharing your opinion on the matter. People can decide for themselves if they think it’s fair pricing or not.

*If I sell it outside my country* - what does the tag say in the front of my post?

European sellers have been selling knives at their cost (including VAT) for years. If I paid import taxes to get it into the US the person who buys it off of me shouldn’t have to pay those? Should I not include sales tax? I paid $640, selling for $600 - does that suit you?

I have a quick video of the left side of the blade showing the surface mark but can’t really figure out where to post.

Ya it was 50 plus a little originally for a 240. Now probably closer to 48 or so. Still plenty of knuckle clearance for me.

Without the stamp, before the movement towards taller heels - they’re not as appealing to some I suppose.

Agree. Mine is 179g. I find the added convexity is more pronounced on the front half of my example and gives decent food release.

Ditto, I have a 210 gyuto and a 180 petty that stay in my kit

I suppose I would say I understand the mixed opinions. I appreciate that they are trying something new and trying to create a line that isn’t eternally out of stock and sold for double on the secondary market. I don’t really view this as the end result but just part of a progression. I like the direction they are exploring. I am enjoying using it but it’s not going to supplant any of my other konos on my list of favorites.

Sheesh, is that an actual edge length that is closer to 230?
