Now to the blade, this deserves a paragraph of it's own!! I looked … and looked at the pictures on this site of this hammer finish and couldn't determine if it was or was not 'dimpled' by the hammer. And it IS! This hammer work provides a place for food to fly off to the side as you dice and chop, and also a place to put your fingers. This blade was obviously handmade! The whole thing was hammered, then the razor sharp edge was ground down. Each knife looks different… upon comparing my knife to the example shown on this site, I see slight changes in where the black meets grey, meets polished edge.
This site carries many beautiful knives from Japan.. and a good % of those come with a Damascus finish (the wavy, almost wood grain finish to the handle)… but these are a ONE OF A KIND!!!
I work at a resturaunt in the Tri-Cities, Wa and am looking forward to using this knife at work!!
Epicurean Edge sent the knife by USPS Express mail (Extra $$) on Sunday and it arrived today (Tuesday). VERY fast shipping, and will do business with again.
Thanks Epicurean Edge!
