Purchased June, 2023 from Sugi cutlery, it has a custom handle by @JoBone. I bought it to get my wife in the game; she eventually reverted to her unsharpen-able, over-steeled Dexter boning knife.

K. Tanaka’s B2 is nice to sharpen, with quite good edge retention. I sharpened it 3x (including just now for listing) with a 3K or BBW stone. With all my knives I generally sharpen lightly with high grit — what some would call touch-up. All use has been on end grain cherry boards.

Paypal, CONUS shipping, and insurance included.
Thanks for looking.
