I recently went on a spending spree so I better try and sell a couple…
This knife would be great for anyone that wants to try a Japanese Carbon knife, or anyone that wants a cheap knife that cuts well.
I’ve had this for a while, I have thinned it out on synthetic bench stones, there is a small low spot on the heel that is still there, otherwise it is fully thinned and polished. I took it to a zero edge then put a micro bevel on it. It’s soft iron cladding with aogami super core or super blue, or whatever it’s called at 62 hrc . It has an upgraded ebony handle from kns. After the work I have done, this is thin behind the edge and cuts as well as knives 5x the price. A great introduction and a good knife to practice thinning as the hard work is already done. Also will show a beautiful, vibrant patina after some use. 240 mm on the blade, not measured by me. Will be shipped razor sharp. Asking 100 bucks plus 15 dollars shipping. So 115 total.
CONUS only please.
Honestly, a heck of a knife for that price. It will outperform any knife in that price range.
Here is a little write up I found.
