193mm edge
176g
42mm tall
2mm at heel
1.7mm rest of blade
Feels like SKD or an aogami super, I have no idea what steel it is. Stainless cladding. Heavily alloyed, slow to rust, tiny rust spots appear and immediate very faint dull gray patina. Balance point at where bolster meets blade. Tiny inclusion or rust mark on the right side across the lamination line on steel and cladding. Sharpens very toothy and alloyed, can catch hair so it's a good heat treat. Stainless cladding is very grabby on stones in a coarse not pleasant way. Heel is ground thinner than rest of knife. I've thinned it, so the rest of the blade cuts a bit closer to how the choil looks. Patina on the core in the handle. Stray scratches on blade face. Very right hand grind
