Maumasi Cutting Comp Knife for sale!

Discussion in 'Maumasi Fire Arts' started by Mareko Maumasi, Oct 18, 2016.

  1. Hi everybody!

    The following is a one off knife I built to compete in the friendly KKF cutting competition.

    It's a 210mm (8.25in) Gyuto hand-forged from "Cru Forge V" high carbon steel. It features my standard "S" grind, a black forced-patina finish, and a simple blackened D-shaped handle. This blade is a light and awesome performer, finishing third amongst it's field of esteemed custom makers from around the globe.

    This piece is $500 USD + S&H and will be sold via a drawing. All proceeds, less the cost of shipping will be donated to the Thurston County Food Bank. http://thurstoncountyfoodbank.org

    If you are interested in purchasing this blade, please post here in this thread or pm me directly with your interest in the next 48 hrs. If there is more than one interested party, I will then do a drawing at 2pm PST Thursday October 20th, 2016, to determine the drawing winner!

    All blades submitted to the competition are being sold with all proceeds going to benefit a non-profit of the makers choice.

    Growing up in a single parent house hold of very, very little means, I have experienced first hand the difference programs like local food banks and shelters make in the lives of people seeking help to fulfill their basic human needs, like food and warm clothing. I count myself incredibly fortunate to now, many years later, be in a position to give back to the very types of programs that helped to feed my family when we were struggling to support ourselves.

    Thank you for your time and interest in my work and this cause.

    Kindest regards,
    Mareko
