Hey ya'll! I've been following Nelson's work for a bit and have always wanted one of his nakiris but he only makes 1-3 a year. Recently he was super kind and sold me one for a great price because it's super thin behind the edge and he didn't know if it would chip or not while being used. So far so good, has been fine. Had some microchipping until it was sharpened.
The Nakiri - this is when it was brand new. It has patina now. It's a zero grind and damn its fun. Super thin behind the edge but a fairly thick spine and has a little more heft than average for a nakiri like this. It really glides through produce.
26c3 monosteel with a hamon and an ebony handle.
I want to share the love since not many people will get to try his work, and because of the great deal I was given.
Knife is currently back with Nelson so he could take it for a spin personally. After that let's do 8-10 spots!
Rules: sharpening permitted if you are confident in it but only 1k and up. Try stropping first.
Given the potentially brittle nature of this blade please avoid using it on things like nuts and lemongrass.
Starting out USA only but if there's enough interest overseas there can be an international leg.
Can use for up to 2 weeks before passing
Value if lost: $250
Reply to this thread with what state you are in and we'll get it going in the next week or two.
Please post a condition photo when you recieve the knife from previous person
