Okay, now you are starting to piss me off...

[JBroida]

[obtuse]

Damn...

[kalaeb]

What the....that is nice! If I did not already have some green out waiting for a suji I would jump on that!

[so_sleepy]

What material are the bolster and butt-cap made of?

Jon,

You know what's funny about this knife? I was thinking about ordering one almost exactly identical from you. The only difference is I was looking for something in the 225-240mm range to suit as a line knife. I bet that knife just dominates fish and meat butchering.

[stevenStefano]

What would you say the advantages of the kiritsuke tip are other than it looking sweet as hell? Does it sort of reinforce the tip a little?

[JBroida]

lol... its mostly just cool looking to be honest. I also like that it leaves the spine a little flatter for scraping the board and it generally means the edge profile is flatter (though not always).

[Eamon Burke]

Plus, I find that a tip like that allows a knife to have a very fine tip at the VERY top of the point, but still plenty of meat behind the blade. Not sure that would matter on a knife this size. It just looks cool.

[JBroida]

Just to let you guys know, we have one of these left in stock ;)

First come, first serve
