SOLD HSC Zwear, 240 x 55mm, 238g Gyuto

[daveb]

I like the knife, love the steel. But I've found I prefer the 48-50mm tall 240's and this one is a bit tall for me. Yes, Harbeer's Zwear edge lasts almost forever. I've not had occasion to sharpen the knife.

New was 650ish, asking $600, Priority and insured to your door.

And yes my picture skills are wanting.

 

[Matus]

Dave, may I ask how is the distal taper? Maybe you could manage to pull off one more photo

 

[daveb]

It tapers into a very thin tip - but not one you'll be afraid of breaking off. Just this side of laser.(Don't open cans of course) My house is devoid of anything suitable to cut and take picture. I'll try and fix that soonest.

Meanwhile, $575.

I'm shocked that this is still here. The ZWear edge just keeps going, better than any other knife alloy I've used and as dave noted it is a tough steel.

 

[daveb]

I kinda thought it would be a one nighter.

 

[IsoJ]

Shockingly still here. If you haven't tried z-wear, you don't know what you are missing plus it is from a great maker. GLWS

 

[daveb]

I was asked about edge length, flatness and the tip. Here are some pics I did in response. At 3/4 of the way up the blade it starts a small upsweep. The tip disappears into nothing - but does not seem fragile. Measured on the edge I get 250mm.

 

[daveb]

Bump.

And spine thickness is 4mm out of the handle, slowly tapering to 2mm where upsweep begins then more quickly tapering to nothing at the tip.

DM sent.
