ATS-34 Kitchen Utility

[samuraistuart]

This is the 2nd stainless steel knife heat treated "in shop". It is a kitchen paring knife or utility knife made from Hitachi ATS-34 stainless steel. It has been heat treated with a sub zero (-100°F) quench and triple tempers for a hardness of 63-64HRC. The full flat grind has excellent edge geometry that makes the knife a blast to use. The spine has been mirror polished for a classy touch. The handle is made from nicely figured walnut and has a "D" shape favoring right hand use, but it is equally comfortable in the left hand. I decided to use my old logo on this knife, which is a letter "S" in tribal font, and looks cool! Every kitchen needs a knife like this!

OAL: 9"
Blade: 4 1/2"
Handle: 4 1/2"
Thickness: 1/16" tapered to tip
Steel: Hitachi ATS-34, 63-64HRC
Handle: Walnut
Edge: 15° per side, 6 micron, 0.005" prior to sharpening

Asking price is only $179, which I think is a great value for the overall package (great steel, excellent heat treat, dialed in geometry, hand rubbed blade and handle finish, super sharp out of the box). This includes a felt lined plastic edge protector and free shipping anywhere in the USA! Paypal preferred (samuraistuart@yahoo.com).
