Hi all,
I've have a really special knife up for grabs today. The blade is San Mai that I got from a small company called Dion Damascus. They make really awesome San Mai in all kinds of combinations. This one has a Nitro V stainless steel core with a copper Mokume jacket. It gives it a super unique texture to the jacket. I love San Mai steel to begin with but this steps it up a notch. The core is perfectly centered and it's a very thin blade that has a bit of flex. It's designed to be a pure slicer.
The handle material is beautiful K&G stabilized spalted apple. It feels warm in hand and finished up like glass.
OAL: 12.5" (315mm)
BLADE: 7.5" (190mm) long, 1.8" (48mm) heel height. It has been hand finished to 1200grit then etched to bring out the San Mai. The grind is hybrid full flat/convex which is down to 0.006" before sharpening.
STEEL: 0.078" (2.0mm) Nitro V San Mai with Copper Mokume jacket heat treated to RC62.
HANDLE: K&G Stabilized Spalted Apple with natural micarta and white G10 liners and white G10 pins.
PRICE: $SOLD Shipped USPS in the CONUS
International buyers welcome, shipping extra.
Paypal, check or money orders accepted.
Post "I'll take it" here in this thread and then PM or email me for arrangements. I have this posted elsewhere, the first time stamp has priority.
Comments/Questions/Critiques welcome.
Thanks for looking!
