Canada, eh?
This is a tough one, but the reality is the KT grind is just not my thing. Other than that, this is a stupendous knife. Just picking it up and holding it has a really visceral feeling to it. Rough and ready. It feels heavier in the hand than it really is, and always feels ready for work.

225mm at the edge, 53mm tall at the heel, 191g

This was purchased as a satin blade, and I've worked on doing a kasumi on it. It's definitely an in-process thing so it does need work on that front. Been touch up sharpened a few times.

Kitchen tractor type grind - low bevels with slightly forged in hollows. It braps for sure.

Sorry but I ate the cookie long time ago. No saya or box. I will but a cardboard saya around it for shipping and ensure it is well protected.

Pricing:
As I'm on the fence about selling this in the first place (and have been for a while), I'm going to un-apologetically put this up at a price that I'm not going to lose any money on it. So my price is $725CAD Paypal G&S shipped to Canada/ConUS. This takes into consideration all the money I paid to get the knife to me + PayPal fee and shipping to send it out. Priority will be given to anyone who also takes another knife I have up for sale. Discounts to those who buy one of my other listings I'm about to put up, as well as Canadians who want to pay Interac/pick-up in the GTA.

I got this knife from Bryan in 2021, so I believe this is 145SC with xc10 as cladding. To be honest, when you get a chance at a Raquin, you jump and don't ask questions.
