I've had this blade up for sale for some time. Today I dug it out of the cabinet to take some new photos, per request - but having looked at and handled this thing again, I changed my mind and am not selling it after all. It's just so nice, I don't have anything else quite like it, and I don't really need the storage space that badly...
But hey, I went to some pains to get these photos in spite of the lack of light up here this time of year, and while I couldn't quite muster up the energy to write up a real review, I thought I might as well post them here. You guys can probably appreciate them.
I tried my best to show the rough but IMO very attractive texture in that last shot. It makes the blade really hard to photograph, BTW, making it seem blurry even in the sharpest focus and brightest light, whereas in person it almost gives the steel a layered appearance (AFAICT it's just simple monosteel all throughout - allegedly TFW's proprietary blend, which I couldn't tell you anything about except that it really is commendably hard yet springy).
