Damn! No specs or even confirmed steel and this thing sold fast. ShiHan's work is just that good lol

Congrats to (potential) buyer. Pretty sure this is from the KU series, which shehan is no longer making.

Over the course of my scattergun knife buying spree, I’ve concluded that there isn’t a strong correlation between specs/choil shots and whether a knife will be a good fit for me or not, so if I want to try a knife that will sell fast, I kind of just have to go for it (for better or worse)…

In the case of Shi.Han, his reputation definitely does mean that I’m very curious about his work whether that particular knife supposed to cut like a laser or a workhorse, and personally don’t care hugely whether it’s A2 or 52100. (I think there was even a recent KKF thread where the consensus on steel choice was that it’s splitting hairs?)

This is the type of the knife that makes you disregard your other ones. Great buy

I take it you are the lucky buyer then?

This is not a critique of this knife or the buyer but it is always worthwhile getting the specific dimensions and good/clear pics of the knife. Not all knives made by the same maker are equal, having the correct expectation from the get go will save you from disappointment. The choil shot is just one data point and taken by itself may not say much but I rather have all the data points possible when making a decision.

Bummer. I would have bought this.

ShiHan’s are sick. I almost pulled the trigger on that wrought clad 240 he had recently

One of the few knives I still think about after selling is a 52100 shihan. The example I had was equipped with his toasted ash handle and overall was about a perfect knife. This buyer got a great example.
