My K&S Custom Tanaka Blue 2 Damascus 240mm got it's heaviest workout this weekend. I had some people up, and did almost nothing but cook. Over three days, I made a huge batch of sausage and peppers (lots of chopping), about 14 omelettes (lots of chopped onions and herbs), potato salad (large cubed potatoes), zucchini and squash (cut and prepared various ways), rib-eyes, NY strips, scalloped potatoes (lots of this slices), tacos (lots of chopped onions, peppers, tomatoes, and herbs for garnish and salsa). Everything else didn't require a knife. I'm still with the OOTB edge. It's lost a little of it's original toothiness, but still performs like a champ. And, the handle looks great. I love this thing. Thanks, K&S.
Cheers,
Jack
