It is distortion from my phone camera. The curve on the edge starts about halfway to the point.
 
Offer sent...however, someone can always swoop in and offer him exactly what he's asking :D
 
I' really excited to try this one out! I couldn't resist....
 
Great looking suji, Heath!
And nice catch, Lefty. You don't happen to have 270 suji to spare now that you got this? :)
 
Thanks. :) Heath's work really intrigues me. Sometimes I get a feeling about a guy's work. The last three were Rodrigue, Davis, and Nguyen. I'm not saying I discovered these guys, trust me! Anything but...however, I'm saying I don't get that vibe too often, but when I do, it seems to work out for me. :D
 
I should add Luke Snyder to that list. Oops.
 
I haven't received the knife yet (obviously), but I would like to mention how easy Heath has been to deal with. We discussed a couple little things and I got pictures, this morning with some minor tweaks to tailor it to my style, then sent pics to see what I thought, etc.

Thanks, Heath!
 
I just got the suji, and I must say...it has it's little flaws, as all knives do, but I love the feel of the handle, the handmade look and boy can it cut. A few tweaks and we'll have a fantastic knife! Nice work, and I can't wait to see you develop, Heath!
