278g
50mm tall
3.8mm spine
2.5mm spine near tip (doesn't get that thin)
Saya is friction fit and 150g. Knife goes almost all the way in, with 5mm or so more to go before. It gets very tight at this point
Supposed to be Sakai made white steel
Smith and sharpener are unknown
Unknown if Oil or water quench
Choil eased for a right hander
Two silver colored metal rings on handle, not sure the material
Lefty bias grind for some weird reason
(Left side has eased shinogi, right is flattish)
Distal taper not that strong
Scratch on the front most ring, and part of the handle.
Some tiny vertical scratches on the blade
Has a bevel set from the sharpener but it looks obtuse and doesn't feel completely sharp
$610 (yes, really. . .but that's why I don't know any more info about the knife, and I got it secondhand)
