WTS Dan Prendergast 200mm chef

[icanhaschzbrgr]

Hi KKF,

it's been a while since I posted anything and even more time since I sold any knives. But the time has come and I'm going to list few knives for sale starting with this Dan's monosteel chef.

• Slightly under 210mm on the edge.
• 46 mm in the heel area
• spine is 5mm near the handle and quickly tapers into nimble tip
• 156 g (without saya)
• Balance right where the makers mark is.
• 1.2519 steel hardened to ~62 HRC (not stainless)
• Walnut handle with blonde horn spacer and walnut saya.

I bought it as blade only about 2 years ago. Immedeately fell in love with it. I made a Walnut saya and a bunch of handles for it. I believe current handle is a good match both in terms of look and comfort. Nicely balanced and not overly gaudi.



I also have a 180mm Kato and they are very similar when it comes to grind, distal taper and overall cutting performace. So I guess one could call it workhorse grind. Being monosteel its way less reactive than Kato and 1.2519 seems to hold edge way longer than Kato.

I always leash saya pins. Because why not?!


No epoxy blobs this time.


Anybody likes patina?


Asking $350 usd + shipping.
I'm in Russia and ready to ship anywhere.

I have 2 knives from Dan and love both. Decided to thin my collection and so this one is looking for a new home.

Whoa, that's gorgeous. And a really super deal at that price too, like buying a custom saya and handle combo while getting the knife for free...! GLWS

 

[Ruso]

So tempting but such a tight budget lately.
GLWS Anton!

This is stupidly nice. It won't last long. If I wasn't on the quest for a god tier 270 you'd of had mail. Amazing piece, someone who wants a work pony, this is it.

That's some fine work ! Someone should grab this.

 

[Migraine]

If I hadn't just bought my Prendergast I would have bought this one. Someone get it and make yourself happy.

Sorry to keep bumping your thread without being a buyer!
