NEW Shibata Tinker Tank, unused, never sharpened
Aogami Super w/ Stainless Clad
Custom Burnt Oak Handle
This knife is just pure, refined power. Perfect for slaying carrots, steaks, zombies, etc. This is my second Tinker Tank, but never got around to using it. Best described a hybrid between a cleaver and a ktip gyuto. It has the mass of a chopper, but the tip is super fine. So you could even convince yourself to have it as a dedicated garlic knife. Behind the edge, the grind is like that of a thin/midweight gyuto similar to a Wakui migaki. The spine maintains over 4mm thickness throughout, up until the k-tip section. Grind looks to be 50/50. As with all Shibata knives, the fit and finish is excellent, with spine and choils not only rounded but also polished.
Installed is a custom burnt oak handle. Straight grain texture throughout. Coated with 2 layers of fully cured hardwax oil for durability without sacrificing the natural wood feel.
Will include a "custom" friction fit cardboard saya that I made for it.
