Hi all!
The Potato Spay Origin: I wanted to build a small kitchen helper that would be good for slicing things like potatoes and such. Being a lover and collector of traditional folding knives, I decided to combine my desire to build the kitchen knife with my love for the very practical spay blade shape. Hence, the Potato Spay was born!
This one is from W2 steel and is differentially heat treated and then etched to bring out a nice hamon. The scales are comfortably contoured from Dark Brown G-10 with a translucent Amber G-10 pin and four small brass pins as well. The flats are acid etched and tumbled, which creates an interesting effect on the Hamon. The knife is 7.5” in overall length with a 3.25 cutting edge (slightly longer if you consider the curvature of the blade. It is just under 2” wide at its widest point.
The grind is full flat and is quite thin behind the edge and the whole way up for slicing prowess. It’s a new design - I hope you like it!
Price was $OLD shipped USA! I accept PayPal F&F, money order or personal check cleared.
Thanks for looking!
