Brand new Takamura R2/SG2 Hana 150mm Petty.
Fantastic suminagashi pattern. This has a built-in bolstered octagonal handle, with SG2 steel covered in an absolutely gorgeous damascus etching. Takamura knives have some of the best factory sharpening I've ever encountered, and this one is SHARP! I believe this knife is sold at ChefsArmoury in Oz and TheBestThings in the USA.

The picture doesn't do justice to this gorgeous knife. I received it as a gift, but it is too pretty to put to use and has been sitting around for about a year. Asking $240 shipped CONUS.
