Limited/Special Makoto Coreless 210mm: Paid $475, asking for $375
I got this from RealSharpKnife, and for some reason this knife isn't on their site anymore, says *Page not Found* . I will try my best to give detailed info about this one. The spine thinness is really thin! Probably similar to Yoshimi Kato's Damascus SG2's spine thinness 1.7mm. The heel height: I would say around/closer to 46-47mm? Coreless Steel: Its VG10 mixed with V2, which feels similar and is akin to Aogami #2, its still reactive and not really reactive at the same time, I only cut it with cucumber maybe used twice. Basically its almost brand new! The handle is ebony, unsure on the rest like ferrule. I did not want to let this one go, but I have not used it for a while and I wanted to clear up space in my knife drawer. I have only strop this with plain leather. I would say its toothy still, I have not sharpened.
Hinoura AS 240mm (To avoid confusion, I believe this is made by Tsukasa's son, Mutsumi as I read, they are very similar in how they made their knives.) I paid $350, asking for $280 I can show receipt upon requests if needed.
I JUST received this a couple days ago from Cleancut. I have decided to keep my Y.Tanaka's So Ten AS 240mm instead of this. It was a hard choice for sure . It's still like new!
This knife has a very nice handle in Macassar ebony. The shape is octagon and the feeling is absolutely top notch. I have sharpened it once, then a strop. Its amazingly sharp, probably can go higher but I wanted to give this a test run for the fun of it, on a cucumber!
Weight: About 218 gr
Thickness mid spine: 2,35 mm
Blade height heel: 52 mm
Edge length: 245 mm
Steel: Aogami Super (64 HRC)
Cladding: Stainless steel
There will be more knives to sell, but lets start with these 2 till I figured out what else to sell. Thanks for your time any questions, I'll be glad to answer em!

That might be one of the thinnest choil shots I’ve ever seen… laser!!
