SOLD - Toyama Damascus 270mm Gyuto
Description
Ever since I got my custom cleaver from Tony LaSeur I just can't seem to put it down so others get left in the dark. I never thought I'd let this one go, but here we are. Patina removed with Simichrome. Can't remember if I ever sharpened it, but edge appears like it needs de-burred so maybe I did and didn't do a great job. *SHRUG* Custom handle by Tony with exhibition Koa and brass. Looks better in person, IMO.
Dimensions:
Edge Length - 275 mm
Height at heel - 59 mm
Weight - 10.51 oz / 298 g
What's included
Toyama Damascus 270mm gyuto
Original box
Price
$1075 shipped to USA. International buyers pay actual shipping minus $15. Price includes PP fees.

I'll bump for A+ seller, maker, knife and LaSeur handle. For those not familiar with LaSeur, exceptionally good quality handles, thoughtful composition and crazy tight install tolerances. But dont take my word for it - buy this knife and find out for yourself!
If you haven't owned a Toyama, this is your chance for a Bentley-level blade from his shop with a top notch handle already installed and ready to go.

This is too much! Ugh!
And to read you say it looks even better in person
I had the pleasure of trying your Toyama 240... what a destroyer that beauty was!

I don't remember the SS clad very well- only had one for for a couple of weeks. I'm also a tad bit prejudiced against SS clad knives when makers switch to them from reactive (Takeda anyone?).

The Damascus series of this line is amazing. I have the 240 and it's my most used knife still, even after removing myself form kitchen work full time.

$999. Absolute rock bottom for me. If it doesn't sell I'll keep it.
