Great knife, just downsizing. It's been used once and original in all ways. I'm first owner, direct purchase from Marko. Great size and style. His workhorse grinds are wonderful and Kato-esque, and heat treats are great. AEB-L is stellar. D-shape handle, lefty facing stamp and D shape. 50/50 WH grind. Nice F&F. Includes a Spalted Maple saya from Marko.
$600 CONUS, $650 int'l.
Specs below. Thanks!

So, this is a 50/50 grind on a lefty knife?
I think you'd have to define what a lefty knife means to you. I try and make or have my knives made to reflect a 50/50 grind so that can be used ambidextrously with the same cutting performance with either hand. The stamp being on the left side doesn't in and of itself make it a lefty. And most people view a D-handle equally comfortable on both hands in both grips. I generally cut more left handed than right, so in this case, I told that to Marko and that is how he built this knife for me. But I (personally based on my definition) wouldn't call it a lefty specific.
