San Mai blade: SKD steel laminated by soft SUS-405 stainless steel. Great knife, sharpens rather easily, not that far off from carbon IMO, takes a very keen edge.
Knife has had a some work put into it; has been thinned by previous owner and myself, it does have less steel than out of the box as some of the thinning has been taken up into the hammer finish, with some extra work further up the tip for improved tip work. Much much better performance than out of the box IMO.
Brand new custom handle - beautiful Lignum Vitae, blackwood Ferrule, and white bone cap; really a great handle with lots of detail, and feels great in the hand.
Need to sell just to cover some new knives.
