I picked this one up on a whim a couple of months ago and fell in love. Just an unbelievable cutter and the edge retention has been incredibly. 8.3" x 62mm. Super light and nimble W2 steel with an amazing hamon. I love the dyed maple handle. I will end up getting a custom from Scot at some point his work is incredible. I just happened to pick up another knife on whim this weekend so I am looking to move this guy. Killer deal for someone at $400.00 shipped.
