Jeez, Dan if I didn't already owe you a paycheck or two....

I can't resist. I'll take it to add to my Koster collection.

GAH! Why do you do this to us?! I am so glad this knife has already been claimed. I've already gone over my limit for this month.

If I did my trig right, the edge has an angle of about 9 degrees (inclusive)?! Should be a wicked slicer on items it doesn't bind or wedge in (carrots, potatoes and the like).

When are you making more K5 Kardas in S30V/CPM 154?

 

[chainring]

THAT is cool! Make more!

Great design!
I really like it, only I wish it could be a tad bigger: the blade by a quarter of inch and the handle by a half inch; and I'd also prefer a rounded drop-point belly (kinda Izula).

But I really love the handle form, the blade width, the distal taper, and the flat thin grind!

I'll be looking forward to follow-ups on the design.

 

[Daniel Koster]

That model is discontinued for the time being....I may make another version eventually. But for now, all my Kardas are OOP.

Thanks for the interest, guys. :thumbup:
