    Merry Christmas to all of you , this is what I was working on Christmas Eve after wrapping presents , 255 mm kiritsuke tip gyuto in Aebl , around 62hrc , asymmetric ground for right handed person with big bevels , semi mirror polish . Very thin tip , very thin behind the edge with a flat profile and good distal taper .
    Handle is octagonal ringed Gidgee from my special stash with double nickel silver spacers, blond buffalo horn ferrule and end cap which is getting very difficult to come by nowadays . SOLD thanks for looking

    I would like to add that to my growing collection of your knives. Let me know if it is still available.

    When you get one of Mert's knives in your hand you can really tell how well made they are. I started with one and used it over the Christmas Holiday and it just made me want to get a few more of his knives. Sorry for hoarding.

    While I don't have as many as Lonnie, the one i have has been a dream to use. I can't wait until i have a dish that requires a heap of diced onions. Did a trial of horizontal cuts while cutting some onion for a tart and the tip went through like the onion like it didnt exist.

    There will definitely be more Tansu knives in my collection in the future.
