This was a custom order, and the poor chap ended up owing the IRS this year, so had to back off. It feels really good in the hands, and balanced perfectly. The grind is special, it's a full flat grind, but it's thinned near the business end. Barely reflected light before sharpening, and you can just make out the edge bevel. Roman Landes, German knife maker and metallurgist, said it best, "Geometry cuts, heat treat (and steel) will determine how long." Well, this thing is gonna cut, my friend! Made from Aldo's 1084 Vanadium steel, it is extremely fine grained. The blade was fully normalized and thermal cycled for optimum performance, quenched in Parks 50 fast oil for max hardness out of the quench. This is an extremely high performance chef's knife, and is sure to become your go-to knife in the kitchen!

1084 carbon steel, hardened and tempered to 61HRC
800 grit satin finish
Walnut handles, Danish oil and TruOil
Brass pins
~15° per side, 4k finish

Take it home now for the low price of SOLD If you're in the lower 48, I'll cover the shipping charges! Comes with a plastic edge guard. Thanks for looking!

Thanks Brian! After working with Koa for the first time recently, I'm torn between the two! Walnut will always have a special appeal to me, I guess that comes from working with J Earl Bridges for a period of time, watching him take a $6,000 hunk of Turkish Walnut and turn it into a work of art on a custom built rifle.
 
Hey, why not do a 15% off sale for the next 2 weeks? I ran it by the accounting department, they said, "Go for it." SOLD Ends June 5th.

A few new pic for your enjoyment! I just got a new light box, and will take some time to get used to using properly. These were done outside in direct sunlight.
