This is a 2nd quality SALE!
This knife has been in the works for sometime now at about 3/4 done. I just decided to throw a Stefan handle on it and finish it up.
The ferrule has a slight check on the bottom side that is more of a visual issue than it is performance issue at all. I show this check in one of the pictures blown up that makes it appear much worse than it is in real life. To the touch I care barely feel it with a fingernail. This handle has been filled in with T-88 structural epoxy and will not give way so please don't be discouraged by this if you are interested in the knife.
Also worth noting is that this is a fairly thin ground knife. The first 1/3 (from tip in) is thinner than I usually grind and even though the blade in convex I'd call this one a laser. It will indeed handle delicate slicing tasks. I actually envision this knife as a decent substitute for someone who does the sashimi thing and doesn't want to get involved with a yanagi.
Please see Dave Martell 300mm Sujihiki with Stefan Keller Wa Handle for details.
Thanks,
Dave
