Up for your consideration is a 232mm Carter Muteki funi, stainless jacketed with white 1 core (if I recall correctly) and ironwood handle. I do not have a proper measure but with a tape it comes out to about 2 1/4 inches at the heel. I'd guess the spine at close to 3mm.
When I bought this knife a little over a year back, it arrived with a less than optimal grind. Wedge monster wouldn't be an inconsiderate label. Spent many hours re-grinding it by hand, and cuts pretty damn well now if I do say so. Panda took it for a spin when we were hanging out last summer and gave it good marks. I'm not one for aesthetics regarding finish and as such I never bothered to remove the deeper scratches. But if you've ever owned a Carter(Muteki or otherwise), you probably know that finish isn't necessarily his strong suit in most respects so I'd say this goes in line with his overall approach. It's pretty thin BTE now, and the tip is deadly. Nice flat profile. Spine could use a little easing.
I have a couple customs coming in from Marko next week, and as I'm a shameless Toyama whore at this point, something has to be set free. Original retail was 385, asking 300 shipped CONUS for quick sale, outside of 'Merica you'll have to cover shipping. Not looking for trades.
Comes with original box, custom cardboard/ gorilla tape saya, and a sense of accomplishment.
PICS!
