167x59mm Nakiri with a core steel in 26C3@64 rockwell. Jacket is low carbon iron. Nickel shim. Polished to a near flawless finish on Japanese natural stones. Will be really easy to maintain and thin throughout its service. Can be polished with benchstones or fingerstones.
Handle is Black Cherry Burl that I harvested from a forest being cut down. I saved all of the cherry burls there actually. After that I air dried them in raw burl form for 5 years, and then slabbed them, drying an additional few years until i finally began stabilizing. Pretty neat seeing that work in my work these days. The rest is a sliver of titanium and antique Bakelite from the 1930's. It will patinate over time to a rich butterscotch.
$old shipped CONUS.
