Would any knife steel nerds like to try out
Good opportunity to check out @MSicardCutlery’s work… I’d be happy for people to spend a week or two with the knife. Put it to the test re edge retention, just no brass nails please.
Please snap before/after photos upon arrival and departure, and include them in your review. Sharpen it on the way in, not on the way out, so the next person can do their own thing with the edge. (If you’re a polisher, go nuts. You’ll find a small piece of Magnacut scrap on the side to experiment with.)
This passaround will remain open as long as people are interested. Post in this thread if you want to try it and I will add you to the list. No geographical limits. I’ll organize the list of recipients roughly according to seniority and proximity.
I don’t want to micromanage the shipping so when it’s your turn, DM the person after you on the list and ask for their address and phone number.

Background: I was hoping to have it in my hands by now, but as fate would have it, it got stuck in my US->SG transshipment service because, long story short, the “knife” declaration got it marked as “dangerous” so now it needs to go somewhere else in the U.S. first… hopefully someone at the end of the passaround chain will be able to FedEx it to me with a “meek and harmless kitchen knife” label. If knife reaches me by Christmas l’ll be happy but more importantly I want everyone to get a chance to spend some time with the toy.
as a passaround?Another very thin MagnaCut gyuto
