I got this a while ago through a trade and took it in as a project knife knowing it had the newer Takeda grind. Spent probably about 10 hours myself doing a good bit of the work and sent it off to Sam at Buttermilk to finish it up and correct any mistakes I may have made. The KU finish has taken quite a hit but I was going for performance and not looks. 65mm tall at the heel and weighs 195g, this is a big knife that doesn't feel like it. I put a quick edge on it to test it out so it could probably be sharpened up a bit better. Comes with a Moroccan thuya burl, blackwood and wenge handle. Going to ask $400 shipped and paypalled conus but will entertain offers and trades.
