Looking for production or custom tactical/hunter, high end production folder, or carried custom folder of like value. Not really interested in multiple inexpensive knives.
Details of Santoku: New, never used, just the way Dan shipped it.
Oversize 3/16" W2, clay-coated quench and nearly-full flat grind.
The flats are rough-forged, complete with hammer marks and scale.
The grinds have been taken to a rough 240 grit finish and then etched to bring out the hamon line - which is downright bizzare/puzzling/baffling how it got that way. But that's how it is and the blades are definitely HARD.
Edges fairly thick (0.030" or so) and this being W2...puts these squarely in the BEATER category.
The handles are Blue/black G10 with corby bolts which have been bead-blasted hard to expose the material grain and make probably the grippiest handle possible - short of checking/stippling or 3D milling.
Includes a custom Dan Koster kydex sheath with large tek-lock.
