Gorgeous! I picked up one of Merts Honyakis this year too. Amazing knife both to look at and to use! Congrats!

Oh dang, i saw this one in a different post. I didn't know that was you. That one looks sweet! How do you like it so far? I remember last year at the blade show you had checked out the sc 125 tansu that i ended up getting.

Pretty spongy....but worth it. :D
She wasn't too mad with this one, I sold my used Standard W#2 to fund
the biggest part of this one. I now have this one and a NIB Standard W#2.

If that couch becomes to painful and you miss your wife, I'll just take the Kato off your hands. That will solve your couch problem and i will be such a happy camper!

Great purchase, Jeff. Really! Huge congrats.

Thank you, it does look the part. Here's some more eye candy then.
The Damascus is quite subtle until you twist it in the light just right, or get close enough ...
Though, I'm sure, someone with better skills can really make this thing shine

Awesome! Is this the 255? I originally bought it from the site but then wanted to have Mert install a western handle on it. He told me he had a 260 for the Show that would be better to use. How do you like it?

It is the 255. The only thing I need to change on it is the HUGE handle. (Which Mert said he'd be happy to swap for me). It cuts as good as it looks. I am very pleased.
