Intriguing shape in some of my favorite materials. I cannot pass this one up.

If it is still available, I will take it. Please provide PayPal information.

Thanks
 
Nice snag Buckeye, my favorite steel also before all the ”new” stainless varieties came along. With proper heat treat and with that wider heal that will be a great kitchen utility blade. Please let us know how it preforms in your kitchen.🤔

Hey Woody,

Assuming I am fortunate enough that it was not already claimed, I will certainly post some feedback.

I'm with you on the variety of excellent options these days. I've used it to justify picking up more than my fair share. Love learning how each maker maximizes their steel and materials to create the performance characteristics they prioritize
 
Arrived today! (Exceptionally fast shipping)

I have not put it through its paces yet, but everything that made me claim it was borne out in person. The handle is a beautiful butterscotch like micarta. The tall heel guarantees no accidental knuckle hits against the cutting board, and I'm a fan of the shape it creates with the blade overall. Wicked sharp as well thanks to an extremely thin grind the height further helps with. There's even some flex at the tip due to the taper.

Very happy I was able to snag this one.
 
Hey Buckeye thanks for the brief impression of this blade, in 52100 I’m looking forward to what you think once you use it a little. Enjoy it a true bargain if it preforms a good as it looks.
