Hi KKF,
One more catch and release in a push to raise some funds. Semi Integral from Joel Black. Wrought Iron over 135cr3. Comes with a saya. Little more WH feel compared to the Eddworks I also have posted. This one does a better job with food release than the Eddworks, but trails just slightly in ease of cutting. Still easily gets through sweet potatoes without issue. Nice rustic feel to it with the bog oak handle and birch bark spacers. I think the bottom facet on the handle is slightly misaligned to the blade, but didn't notice anything when using it and the rest of the handle looks to be aligned. I think it might have been a sanding thing during shaping.
Specs are:
235x56, 254g
