Update:
I can’t justify lowering this virtually new Mert Tansu more. I also want to stick to my one knife per maker rule here. Not going to withdraw, but I am going to start using this knife. I will discount this knife over time based on my usage. If you are interested in buying this knife, please reach out to check the current condition and price.

This is from Mert's February newsletter. Just received the knife. Only had it for a day and used for some test cuts; it developed very minor patina given the full polish.
Great knife. Same as all Mert's high end stuff, top tier FF. Super nice and comfortable handle. The etched cladding looks sick in person under good lighting, but hard to show in pictures. Good taper - thick out of the handle with thin tip as you can see in Mert’s specs sheet below. I really like this profile too. It has more weight and authority than lasers like T x K. If you feel a 180g laser is too delicate and a 280g WH is too heavy, give this all rounder a try.
It was supposed to be a laser, but I would probably call it more of a mid weight knife based on my standard. Guess this is the problem when you use terms like laser, workhorse, etc.
I generally prefer mid-weight, but I have too many mid-weight knives at the moment. Therefore, I'm going to release it.
A soft Mert Tansu branded carrying case is included.
Asking$775 $750 $725 $700 including G&S fee and CONUS shipping. Will cover the first $15 for outside of CONUS.
