Just got it f/ Mano in B/S/T about 1-2 weeks ago. Haven't used it. It's so beautiful I don't want to.
Knife arrived this weekend while I was away and I picked it up at the post office before work today. Initial impressions are it's a lot longer feeling than 270 (I have a 265mm fowler and a 270mm mac pro for comparison). Fun knife to use so far, edge worked fine for the stuff I was doing. I'll write more as I get a chance to put it through the paces at work.
Question: how do I deal with the reactivity/patina? I've seen some KS pics with some really nice patina on them but it's not for everyone. Is it something that I should polish off before sending it off to the next person? I sliced a few cooked steaks today with it and have a bunch of onions, lemons, and some proteins to do tomorrow, so it should be pretty patinaed by the time I'm done with it.
The knife got to the post office on sat. I will be picking it up on wed. Can't wait to use it.

How's the masamoto treating you?
Man, first time using white. I am in love. I now know why so many have them on the top of their list. It takes a edge and wants to hold on to it. Will do a thorough review after I send it off.

Still very excited to get my hands on this puppy!
Zwiefel got it on the 20th. Wonder why he hasn't posted yet.![]()

Hmmmmm. Maybe he's drowning in his own knife cuts, a sea of mire poix...
Sorry guys...very very behind in getting this out to the next guy. ChinaCats has decided to pass on it (he got to play with it a bit when I was in Charlotte anyway, we didn't realize he was next on the list), so I'll ship this off to DaveB today (if I can make it) or tomorrow.

This made it in the post today. I'll be more diligent about getting passarounds out in a more timely fashion in the future.
