Product description
A stunning 210mm long slicing knife in SG2 clad with stainless damascus made by Shigeki Tanaka finished with a beautiful ironwood western-style handle with a brass-coloured stainless bolster. The thin, nimble blade is perfect for slicing proteins. The grind has a decent amount of convexity along the low height, as well as a smooth distal taper to a thin, but not flimsy tip. The out-of-the-box edge on this is excellent, and would require no initial work. The knife comes in a wooden kiri box.

I'm the second owner of this, and as far as I'm aware, this has never been used and never sharpened, but there are 2 blemishes on the side of the blade near the heel that are visible under certain angles of light, which I've taken pictures of to try to illustrate. These are likely the result of storage in a saya or have come during shipping. As a result, this is being sold at a heavy discount from retail.
