Did I miss something?

[JohnnyChance]

What's not to get? He posted some videos of some of his knives.

Never heard of the Yahoo Fusion before. Profile looks pretty good though. Handle is kinda Cut Brooklyn-esque.

no offense I thought you were selling them. Was wondering if you got called away or something. Got a little confused

[sachem allison]

Is this the one you were thinking about having made in an earlier post?

[JohnnyChance]

Yeah, I thought the same thing at first. When using the "what's new" link I found this, then afterwards I realized he posted in the media center, not the BST.

Man that spine looks beastly. Not a lot of taper, but the grind looks promising. How do you like it? Now that you included the maker's name I remember you posting about him before.

[Salty dog]

What? Video number 3 had no tunes? Man.

[MichaelD]

Indeed, the grind is very interesting. At the first glance I was a bit sceptic, about knife capabilities. But it performs extremely well, similar to Sakai Yusuke or Susin Inox Honyaki. Due to the urasuki grind, knife will tend twist left when cutting dense products.
