Alchemist by Osamu Kasho
One of my favorite karakuri puzzle box from the ever famous Osamu Kasho (kashkash). Only selling it because it is too big and occupies a lot of my very limited puzzle space.This puzzle is absolute brilliant. Once it clicks you, you can open it fairly quickly, but you would have an absolute blast while solving it, first time or 100th time.Some words from Kasho san:This work was created for an exhibition on the theme of "Karakuri Experiments".
There is a round flask on the top of a pedestal, and ...

Portal by Dee Dixon
This is everyone's favorite Dee box - Portal. This copy has unique cut of cherry with crazy texture. This is not from the batch sold on CD.Portal is a very fun solve. It builds upon Dee's previous puzzle boxes and has some new tricks up its sleeves.A few words from Fivesinatras' blog:"This newest creation moves away from some of Space Case's more blind
aspects, providing ample direction and feedback from start to finish
while preserving some of the best aspects of such semi-hidden

Link Type Box (Silver with Dummy) by Hirsohi Iwahara (RF-51)
Link Type Box (Silver with Dummy) By Hiroshi Iwahara (RF-51) From the original description:This is the only design that has a dummy movement among this series. The Dummy was made unavoidably due to structural reasons, but, it plays a big role later. This design may have the second highest number of steps. The total number of steps is 25, and extracted number of side movements is 10. This is a kind of “Turning Type” and takes 3 turns to solve.----------------I need to reluctantly release som...

Tube It In (2020 edition) by Wil Strijbos (RPP)
Tube It In is a classic design by Wil Strijbos. To solve it you have to take the various small rectangular pieces and pack them all inside each other. Wil originally made it with small cut sections of metal pipe! What an original and fun idea, still unique to this day. The puzzle itself is moderately tricky and fun to solve.Construction of this puzzle is painstaking. Each piece is strengthened with shouldered joinery on the edges and then beveled on all faced. This was very tricky indeed with su...

ResQ by Frederic Boucher & Eric Fuller (RPP)
ResQ is a unique Sequential Discovery Puzzle based on Boucher's brilliant Visitor Q. We took the original design and modified it by adding additional goals, tools, and tricks. ResQ is the result of nearly three months of prototyping and features previously unseen concepts and hardware.
The brilliance of Boucher's VQ design is in the depth of possible movements and states the puzzle can be in. Visitor Q is very much like a maze; you find configurations that won't allow you to progress and mus...

Flaskolation
This is one of the best puzzle box designed by Yasuaki Kikuchi. On top of that, this is one of the hardest karakuri puzzle box as well. Not to mention, one of the most unique looking with a bizarre theme to it. It took me quite a while to solve it and I enjoyed it thoroughly!A very nicely written excerpt about the puzzle by Kikuchi san:This work was designed for an exhibition with the theme, “Karakuri Experiments”.

TV Puzzle
From CD website,The "TV Puzzle" is a long-discontinued Pelikan release that was the subject of particular obsession on the Mechanical Puzzle Discord. I somehow got roped into making it; I'm still not sure how. Those guys are persuasive.TV
Puzzle is an interesting hybrid packing and take-apart puzzle. My
interpretation stayed true to Jakub's original design with a couple of
changes - we fully lacquered and changed grain direction for all pieces
to make the solution more difficult. The res...

Blah Box by Eric Fuller (RPP)
Blah Box is the result of the accumulation of ideas I had while trying to design a simple mechanism for the box containing the DDD Burr Puzzle. I wanted to make a simple trick opening mechanism for DDD, but in the end, discarded the idea because it would overly increase the price of the puzzle. I came out of the design session with some solid ideas, which, when combined, turned into a rather interesting box on their own. I was feeling rather "Blah" about my failure with DDD and decided to name t...

Secret Base 2 by Hiroshi Iwahara
This is one of the prettiest looking boxes. And I can also say with confidence that its a non-trivial one (which is hard to find from KCG). The step count isnt huge, but there are couple of nice aha moments.Pictures do not do justice to the top panel yosegi pattern.Since this is an expensive puzzle, I would like to insure it fully during shipping.Buyer to pay shipping fees calculated after the auction.

This is one of the classic Kamei design from way back in 2001. It is not too difficult to open but nor too easy.One of the sides has a very very minor imperfection (highlighted in third pic) that is only visible when it catches light the right way, as you can see it is not visible in the second pic at all.Buyer to pay shipping fees calculated after the auction.
