Ummm, seriously, am I missing something? That's like a really cheap price. Come on Fred, you putting us on? I'll take this one too, can I have a discount for buying two?

Box, nothing wrong with it, I'll take it too.

Hey Fred: Put me in line if not spoken for. I've been lurking here and learning alot. I have several Shuns and love the harder steels. I think this would be a great first gyuto for me.

[Fred]

I got a pm from Shunned Texan with an offer to buy. I provided him payment information by pm before reading the thread. So I will consider it his pending payment or a change of mind.

Ahhhh, that sucks. Oh well, probably for the best though.

[Fred]

Sold. Thank you.

[ShunnedTexan]

Oh my! This was paid by Paypal based on Fred's early morning reply. I didn't mean to "jump the line". Adam, I just found your message when I dropped back by the forum. I won't be competion for a while as I will be shopping for water stones next.

Now I have to explain to my wife why I spent this much money on a knife that she won't be allowed to use! <grin>

[watercrawl]

No worries ST, probably for the best anyway. Enjoy the knife.

Adam, maybe Fred has another he could sell. If not, try Kikuichi directly. They're located in New Jersey.

[watercrawl]

Thanks Bob, Fred and I came up with a deal.

[Octaveman]

I know it's on it's way. I can hardly wait! The addiction begins.
