Free: Contests & Raffles.
Thanks everyone! This one was based off the old Loveless/Dozier patterns. I love the lines those knives had.Pianoman, are you talking about this one? It is $150 local pickup or buyer pays shipping.
5.5 in blade length, about 9.75 in overall length. I don't have any trouble bringing back the edge. Did your knife have a hamon or different steel types of some sort? Just speculating, but you could have worked past the hard steel and into soft stuff. Or maybe as you sharpened it the behind the edge thickness got too thick to keep an edge? The thicker the edge, the faster it will wear down (but the less likely it is to chip or roll, which is why most chinese knives are crazy thick behind the edge). The handle on this slicer is made of Cocobolo natural wood, which some people have an allergic reaction to (or at least the dust from grinding). You wouldn't want to leave it sitting in water or put it in the dishwasher as the blade is not quite stainless (D2) and the handle is natural wood. You probably already know that, but I like to explain that to anyone interested in my knives prior to them making any decisions.
Great looking knives, neighbor. Do you smoke cigars? I should have you over for one, if so.
