Just wanted to say thanks to Audra for yet another really great knife! :D

Actually, my new knife is a knife I already owned, but asked Audra to modify. Though daily use of the knife in a professional kitchen was the impetus for the modification, the request was not only a challenge to Audra but above and beyond what could reasonably be expected of a knifemaker.

And the result was astounding! This knife is now my favorite kitchen knife (and I've got a couple ;) ) !!

I just can't put this knife down...where normally during the course of a day both a slicer and a chef knife are used, I've been using this knife exclusively. It might also be the only polished damascus blade I own, and due to it's use is developing a beautiful damascus-laced patina! The distal taper on this knife is, in a word, perfect and it fits the hand seamlessly.

It is a bio-matter separator extraordinaire!

I really appreciate Audra's knives in general (see below :) ), but her transforming this knife in the way she did was just off the chain, and I really want to say thanks! :D

Not only do I get to use this great chef knife, but I get to carry the "Lil' brother" throughout the day!
