I will attempt to fairly rate this knife--this is not quite the knife that I asked for, but this is not the fault of the craftsmen. It has all the fit and finish of a high-end Konosuke, which is to say damn close to flawless: shaped and polished spine and choil, gorgeous handle, excellent edge profile, and hairsplitting grind. I'm not a huge fan of the particular finish on this blade, but that's just me; for what it is, it's flawlessly executed. Hard to say if it's worth the price, as there are knives of comparable performance for $200+ less, however maybe not from these particular craftsmen. I can say, dollar for dollar, it's not my favorite knife, but I'm not kicking it out of the knife drawer either. I want a stainless version of a Konosuke MM with a HAP40 core, and in many ways this is close to that (but in SG2). However, this has a thinner spine than an MM and, as such, it doesn't have the same level of confidence and "schneidvergnuegung" of an MM. Someday. Maybe. Hopefully.
