I think it might be, for one of @Kippington’s knives. He must have gone to get a beer or something this time.

I had a chance, I finally had a chance. I saw this about 30 seconds after it was posted. Unfortunately, the funds weren't there, but some day a Kipp will be making the trek to upstate NY. Congrats to the buyer!

+1 on some day lol.

240 mm edge only 187 gr with a pine wood handle and brass spacer handle.
Super light I would say! I can picture it flying thru stuff.

Very lucky buyer! Congratulations!

I knew I should have checked KKF when I got woken up by neighbor's dog at 5:30am AGAIN this morning.

I even got up from bed to relieve my bladder.

BLAST.

Wow that was quick

I believe is Jules had posted it later in the day for us US folks it wouldn't have lasted 4 minutes. Of course we don't know how long he delayed after getting bombarded with PMs.

I have this exact knife and I assure all of you it is an absolute doozy…. And @gentiscid it actually is pretty light (surprisingly for the way the choil looks) but it’s is balanced and still has decent power despite not being super heavy.
The grind on this knife is just absolutely stunning… aggressive but comfortable. The type of knife you could use all day long with ease.

And to me, this profile is perrrrfect for my cutting style.

Congrats on whoever scored it! Such a good deal too.

Took 4 minutes for him to declare it sold after confirming with buyer and payments done. Probably took less than a minute!

I got 2 FM’s off you, maybe someday I’ll snatch this one off your hands too

@tylerleach I don’t usually see pine wood handles and I know pine is very light, so was kinda thinking if the weight goes more towards the blade helping going thru food with least force. I think the ferrule and spacers help on its weight too (probably around 30 grams), making the blade around 150-ish gr and for being a 240 is super light to me. Dream knife!

It would be a similar weight to Ho wood, maybe a touch lighter.

I agree! I have no problem with the handle’s weight, I adjust myself easily! For me it would be I have to be more careful with such woods, so they remain scratch/dent free and stain free from moisture. They are soft porous woods. Most likely I would soak them in mineral oil or other maintenaing oils (tung) and some beeswax to make them waterproof and coating them to help protect from scratches/dents.

I have three from Jules now all in the same Pine and they have held up very well. I keep them oiled and waxed and not noticed any wear/scratches etc. Really lovely wood in my opinion
