tostadas
Hobbyist / Craftsman
Hado 240mm (230 x 57mm)
Blue #1 core, Damascus clad
Y. Tanaka forged, Maruyama sharpened
Snakewood/Horn Octagon
I picked this up from BST and used it once at home, have not sharpened. I have another custom in the works with similar specs, so I'm letting it go. Tall with gradual taper. Laser like performance with the thin grind. Fit and finish is as you would expect with high end Sakai knives, spine and choil are both rounded/polished. The upgraded handle compliments the knife well while maintaining a comfortable slightly forward balance.
