This knife was used at the Midwestern gathering that happened a month or so ago. We have removed any patina and freshly sharpened it.

Asking $650 CONUS but will also ship overseas if you want to contribute to the shipping. First "I want it!" gets it and we can settle up by us emailing you a Paypal invoice for it.

Best,

Wow. Gorgeous. Wish it could be mine!
 
I really really enjoyed cutting with this knife when I had the chance.

This is a very capable and versatile knife, and the build quality is truly outstanding.
 
I cant justify another knife someone is going to be lucky.
 
I love the grind! That should be a terrific cutter! Good looking knife, too.
 
congrats to the new owner! what a beautiful knife.
 
Thanks guys! It was a lot of fun to make. I really appreciated everybody's feedback during the process as well. We've been playing a lot with some different types of S-grinds and other complex grinds over the last few weeks and we've found some winners. I'll try to get some good pics to show you all soon. That knife's on its way to Canada and should be arriving there in a couple of days. Thanks again for your encouragement!

Best,

I'm sorry but did they just say the following points (casually)

“Integral bolster board suji”
“piano key spacer from a defunct 1899 Steinway upright grand”
“symmetric "S" grind”
“Cryogenically quenched”

This is why I have finally (stupidly waited) to get on there list .... awesome stuff!

:bliss:
