What? You get a new 270mm baby and the older kid gets kicked out of the house?
This is a nice deal though. It's hard to tell from pics, but the blade shape looks like it might be a bit narrower and pointier too.
Like I said in my email, my opinion is that these lasers work really really well with a hairline microbevel, even if a little steeper than you usually might do, on a very fine stone. I am glad you like the knife - there is something very cool about sending a knife half way around the world!
