That's a huge chunk of steel, it's hard to pick up scale without someone holding it, but unless the posted weight is in error, it's over 5 lb. The handle and blade shape looks dead-on like a Greek kopis to me. I am soooo tempted!!!
 
WOW! That would be mine in a heart beat if I had the cash. That is simply amazing.
 
Fair warning, I really don't want to spend the money, but if nobody's claimed this by 3:30, I'm sending an email.
 
That is an absolute masterpiece in every sense of the word:eek: I have seen a lot of HI products, but I don't think that I have ever seen a blade with such "soul". Absolutely jaw dropping! Worth twice the asking price, IMHO. Beautiful!
 
Unless somebody else sent an email but hasn't posted, it's mine (email sent at 3:33 EST / 12:33 PST).
 
NICE NICE NICE!!!


I hope to see more of these in the future.

Motion seconded!

There's been a lot of really amazing offerings lately. Between the gray scabbard sirupati and this beast I won't stop drooling for days.
