I've been clicking links and following this knife through various video and photo galleries, and while it looks great, I haven't seen much in the way of specs or description.
Do you know what the cladding is? Is it a nickel /carbon blend or is it the more reactive iron stuff like Shigefusa uses?
Approximate spine thickness @ heel, mid, tip?
Balance point?
The design seems to lean more towards the "general use"/gyuto end of the mix than the yanagi/suji slicer end. Is this correct?
If you where to keep it, what would you see using it for the most?
Any idea of shipping cost to the USA?
