Kiritsuke knife 7.2" blade, PRICE REDUCED, laminated Hitachi White Steel no 2

[HSC ///]

This is a modified Carter Kiritsuke pattern.
This is hand forged and heat treated in a water quench by me to a hardness RC about 62+

I've been testing this knife for the last week, here is a little video (or two) . Just simple slicing, no parlor tricks

This should be very good slicing vegetables, and proteins, no bones or chopping as this has a thin hard edge.

flat grind , raw forged finish, hand sharpened on Japanese water stones.
Clad with mild steel, this blade will patina quickly.

Blade length 7.2"
Spine thickness is .11 at the heel

Knife will come in either a simple a leather slip case or padded zipper case.

That's very nicely done! Looks like you did this almost exactly like Carter does it.
