SOLD Merion Forge Big Nakiri/Little Cleaver PRICE DROP $385

[Greenbriel]

Sad to let this one go but I must.

I picked this up from @ethompson on BTS and it's a beauty. I used it for a few test cuts and then it sat in a drawer with a blade guard. It deserves better than being a drawer queen and I want someone to properly enjoy it. Falls through product (check that coil shot!)

I'll double check size tonight, but I'm taking much of this description from @DF18 's original post here: SOLD - Merion Forge and Lila Nordanskog

More photos and a nice video there. (Thanks @DF18 I hope you don't mind)!

About 175 x 75 and I weigh it at 324g (not 315g).

1.2562 core with wrought iron damascus cladding. Beautifully polished and rounded spine and choil.

Not stropped or sharpened.

Looking for what I paid - $385 incl CONUS shipping and PP fees.

Thanks!

 

[ethompson]

Oh yeah, this one is niiiiice. Excellent grind and cool grain structure in both the clad and core if polishing is your thing. If you like beefy knives that just drop through anything this will be your jam.

Paging @BillHanna.

 

[DF18]

This one was mine for too short of a time… such a cool and fun knife. It’s treads the line between nakiri and cleaver so well.

 

[BillHanna]

Too close to Christmas. If the buyer feels like it needs a new home in 2023, I bet it’ll sell.

 

[Greenbriel]

Some more details:

Blade
171mm (along the edge) x 75mm (heel)
68mm (far end)

Spine
4.35mm coming out of the handle (chunky!)
2.5mm halfway down
1.9mm at the far end

Still 324g, still falls through produce like it isn't there.

Got some DMs but no solid commitments yet.

How far is the balance point from the choil/heel?

 

[Greenbriel]

I'll take a photo on Monday (knife is at the office I am at home).

 

[P.A.N]

Are these orange'ish spots we can see on a blade, rust? If yes, how deep are they or easy to remove with rust eraser?

 

[Greenbriel]

I think so, very shallow. Easily removable and looks less obvious in person. Must've come from the blade guard in the drawer. I can take them off but I thought the new owner might prefer to do it.

 

[Greenbriel]

Here you go @tostadas

 

[Greenbriel]

@P.A.N - I’m actually not sure it is rust. It seems to have almost disappeared just from putting the blade guard on and off a couple of times.

I just came back to the post, after a few hours of work, and was seriously contemplating typing "MINE!"

Uhhhhhh….it still says WTS. Maybe you should change that.

 

[Greenbriel]

Sorry! Not sure why you thought it sold. I have interest but no commitments yet.

I though I was asking what I paid, but I just checked my records and I paid $385, so let's lower the price to that.

$385 shipped CONUS incl PP.

And here’s a poorly framed cut video!

This one is SPF.

WAS it you? Did you change it from WTS to SOLD?

 

[ch_br]

I would never willingly take away the POR's (Prince of Rectangles) opportunity to corner the market on completely angular cutlery.

BUT...

In this case you were silent... so I dun swooped in like a backwoods ninja and scooped up that SOB

[Greenbriel]

Aaaand SOLD! Thanks @ch_br & KKF!

 

[ch_br]

I was also under the distinct impression that the blade magically imbues the owner with the cutting prowess as displayed in the potato smackdown video posted above.


A Mandoline be damned and redundant in that house baby!

 

[ch_br]

Aaaand SOLD! Thanks @ch_br & KKF!

you should thank @DF18 his blade endorsement sealed the deal on my growing impluse to pull the trigger.

Kick him back a few semolians or a 6 pack for the assist @Greenbriel .

 

[Greenbriel]

Kick it back yourself, you got a great knife at less than I paid.

But really, thanks @DF18, I appreciate it! Knife will go out UPS today with some extra goodies and insurance on me.
