That has to be one of the finest "steak knives" I have ever seen. Looks to me like it would peel or cut fruits very well also LOL. We do miss your discussions and look forward to seeing you again soon. In the meantime, enjoy the new one!!
Hello my friends, just a quick post to say thanks a lot to all of you for your kind birthday wishes. I hope all is well with each of you and your families.
I realize that I have been absent of our discussions for a while. I have got a lot of information, new pictures and comments for you on my hard disk. I hope I’ll find the time to post this next month.
Today, I only show you my birthday gift.
This very elegant pocket knife (or personal steak knife, though you must not eat steaks) is definitely not an American style of blade : an unmistakably Japanese Higonokami folding knife, whose design dates back over 150 years.
The Kai [Kershaw] Shun Higo steak knife comes with a well made leather sheath and a black lacquer presentation box.
It features ebony-black pakkawood (WOOD, Luca!) handle, with brass end caps and a decorative brass emblem.
The Shun trademark is etched on the blade.
The VG10 "Super Steel" blade is 3-1/2 inches long. Knife is 4-3/4 inches when closed and overall 7-3/4" in length.
The slender locking blade opens one-handed with a traditional lever-action of antique design and blocks firmly open with a simple liner lock.
The razor edge provides the cleanest cut possible.
