Hello All,
Last year a customer asked for a clone of his KS but in hard 52100. I still had the pattern lying around and a different client asked for a honyaki KS copy, so I got to thinking maybe just maybe this would stir up a little interest. Dimensions and flats copied from a genuine KS so the profile and cutting feel should be as close as possible.
Blade: 252mmx52mm MagnaCut (63 hrc) belt finish
Neck: 21mmx16mm
Handle: Leopardwood and walnut, oil finished and waxed
POB: 33mm from the handle
Spine: 2.46mm at the handle, 2.16mm at halfway, .38mm 1cm from the tip
Grind: flat to convex RH Bias
Weight: 159g
Relieved choil and spine
Edge: .14mm@1mm measured at the midpoint,
Asking $440 U.S + $25 shipping. As always, if this blade is purchased in conjunction with another I will happily deduct $25 off of the price of the other blade.
Thanks for looking!
