This little fantastic house knife. Using it 95% of the time at home.

Fantastic cutter. I don't feel like we're giving this smith enough love, it's a great knife.

This is my personal knife.
Please treat it with respect.

If you look st the choil shot it's a fantastic grind with excellent food release and gets nice and thin down in the edge
Great small task knife and it's been to work a few times great for smalls tasks like red potatoes for potato salad as an example

I've always wondered about these knives. Unfortunately they don't have 210 or 240 formats
