No, came that way from Shinichi http://www.watanabeblade.com/english/special/sanadapeti.htm
He lists it under his special kitchen knives but I really think the cord wrap and the porosity of the steel make it rather "iffy" for sanitary reasons. (if you look at the blade under a microscope, you will see many small holes that could retain food particles, so I'd only use it on things I'm going to cook and then clean it very well). Polishing it on a natural waterstone really brings out the layering and makes it look really pretty though ^-^
 
now I can see the detail in that blade after seeing the close up veiw. That is nice. This wrapped handle reminds me of Japanese swords.
I can see your point as a cooking utensil...but still so cool...I may try to do this on one of my throwing hawks with leather. Also, I have a 12" Gil Hibben thrower with a steel handle. This would be nice on the back half of the handle...if it doesn't throw off the balance too much.
 
My ex girlfriend liked the CRKT Snap lock, and i remember her commenting on some fancy custom stuff from True North Knives. She was odd. But the only knife of mine she would pick up and fiddle around with was my Endura, so i'd suggest a Spyderco.
 
Oh yeah I'm just reminded of another lady friend who loves her CRKT Snaplock but will also rotate in a BM Grip from time to time.
 
My better half looks on almost all my 30+ knives i own with disdain except the CRKT Mirage which resides in her purse. Probably because of my taste in knives, but there you go...
 
GF has a Delica II that I gave her for Xmas a couple of years ago, she rotates that with a factory engraved Dragonfly. She does like her Spydies. She also has the Spydie Mini-Police Ti Neckless and usually has a small Boker Auto tucked away in the purse somewhere! She has expressed an interest in a Kershaw Chive Rainbow, lately.

If you really love your girlfriend and she is as in to knives as all of us here you'd contact Daniel Winkler and order one of his knives. They are awesome and Karens leather work is as complimentary to his knives as well as a piece of art in it's own. Give her the movie "The Last Of The Mohicans" and flowers wouldn't hurt either. Just 2 cents worth.
