text: Just picked up this parer from another forum member. Cleaned up the handle and put a fresh edge on it and I'm really impressed. Arrived with a few small chips in the edge and felt quite slick on the stones making me think the steel is quite hard, unsure of what the steel is though (guess was S30v?). It's waifishly thin, and has taken a scary edge (5k SS then strop), going to stay with the sister this weekend and she likes to use a parer for everything so will take it along to get her expert opinion. Only worry is if she likes it I might end up losing it :D
  Beautiful. I've had the pleasure metting Butch, he lives about 10 mins from me, and came into my Bistro to eat and chat. He let me handle a few of the knives he had in the truck, and I fell in love. I'm just to poor, lol. I'm sure you'll be happy with that one. I'm on the prowl for one of his parings, as that all I'll be able to afford for some time, but damn, his f&f is simply amazing.
  You are going to lose it. No doubt about it.
  Nice score, looks like a good one. I love Butch's work. I had the pleasure of using one of his knives in a passaround.
  He's one of m go-to guys for a reason. He's one of the best. Congrats on your new knife. It's a beauty!
  It's my first Butch, and if shipping and customs to the UK wasn't so expensive I'd be having a harder time convincing myself I don't need another. It's also not a knife to use to cut against your thumb over the pan, so I might be able to keep it.....
  Looks lovely. First uk Harner?! I'm soo tempted for Leftys Harner nakiri for my new set up. Mind you the only other gap in my new setup is a parer so if you suddenly don't like it......:whistling:

  Ahh...so it's so sharp to have to be too careful. ;-)
  Well kinda first uk harner, he bought it from me. This is one of the real early ones, I think nikoz maybe had a paring before me, but he hadn't made many at that stage.
