ok specs blade
front of handle to tip 314mm
edge 296mm
spine to edge 38mm
hollow ground back on a 4foot platen flat ground front bevel as about 7 degree so a 2ndary at the proper15 can be made and still have a super thin knife
spine is 4mm at the gaurd 3m half way and tapering all the way out to the tip

handle 165mm long 26-30mm tall 24-28mm wide (taper thinner to the front of the handle) to show about the balance of the OCT. the other sides at the front is 25 and 24mm so perty close to round
a light chamfer around the but to knock down the sharp edge

balance point is right at the plunge cut of the grind and the knife's total weight is 335g
asking 1500$ shipped and coverig all charges

I don't know what that is for but it is stunning! :thumbup:

google is right its for sushi and thats about it as the edge is so thin and hard that most other use would beat it up (kind of like how specialized a straight razor edge is )
