Selling my Nakiri hollow geometry test piece, to make room for more test pieces on the rack. Its a little cracker.
146mm length 56mm height. Around 2.6mm taping on the spine. Hollow ground faces and slightly convex stone polished wide bevels. So so thin and lovely release.
This is a test piece, not logo'd but it is rather clumsily signed. It suffered a chipped heel on its multinational pass around, heel is rounded and it is very usable. There was slight contraction on the endcaps, making a tiny step to the touch, but moved no further and wood has darkened nicely so will leave it. Just given the bevel a quick thin on the wide bevels and a fresh micro bevel.
Wood is stabilised walnut with something red and Australian on the ends.
Steel is 14c28n at full 63hrc hardness. 14c28n is an improved version of 13c/aeb-l with better corrosion resistance. Incredibly fine carbide steel.
Forge finish stainless mono also makes this piece very unusual.
Great little knife, will make someone very happy, I now reserve this grind for more elaborate pieces as its time consuming for a Utility priced knife.
Comes with Knife bag and certificate.
Asking £290 all in, pm me for payment details.
Cheers
