Picked up the tuko recently because, well, i hate money...
I am really pleased with it overall. Santoku is already a great design and with ethans handle, its very comfortable. The micarta is a lighter color than i had anticipated but i have noticed it has been getting darker(i think) after using it awhile. It goes without saying but i do wash the micarta with the blade after every use. Its a nonissue regardless.
Only thing ive noticed is small flakes of the sheath when i unsheathe it. Its a hard steel with hard edges so its only natural to remove some of the sheath material on the withdraw. I was wondering if others have noticed this and if it goes away with time. Im guessing anywhere the blade drags across and removes material will dig out and make it smoother as well as cleaner.
Pictures are a bit blurry with a phone camera.
I just wipe it off and get to work. If it bothered me i could get a new sheath but its not that big of deal. Its just something ive noticed and wondered if others have noticed it also.
