SOLD Mazaki AS 241x54 with saya

[GorillaGrunt]

Didn’t want to have to sell this but I do. Some of the best steel around, killer geometry, wicked taper. Great balance of thick heel, whisper thin tip, thin at the edge but robust and resistant to chipping, easy to sharpen. Second owner I believe, have used it but not very much. Cladding is not obnoxiously reactive compared to some of his white steel ones. Saya with pin. 206g. $700 shipped US.

These don't come up very often. AS is my favourite knife steel if given a proper heat treatment.

Is that the heart shaped handle?

Yep, ebony and the K&S wenge saya

 

[GorillaGrunt]

Had a Q about balance point, nearly to the heel but not quite. Maybe a cm forward or so
