Wilburn Forge 52100 and 15n20 Integral Damascus Gyuto from ABS Master Smith Aaron Wilburn 235X50mm with Desert Ironwood. This knife is gorgeous, so much so that I've never used it. I pull this out of the case, look it over, oil it and put it away. It shouldn't be a drawer queen. Asking $1800.00 CONUS. Not looking for trades in particular, but happy to field alternative offers.

Hello, could you please let us know the length of the handle including both the wood and metal portion? The handle looks kind of fat and short. How does it feel in you hand when you hold it? Also, where about is the balancing point? Thanks.
 
Just over 130mm and the balance is right about at the front of the bolster:

On the surface, it looks chunky, but it's also highly contoured. It feels comfortable and ergonomic to me, but I think it's just one of those things where it comes down to personal preference.
