I love Ban Tang's work. Have you seen the double edged Titanium Clinch Picks he's putting out now for Shivworks?

[Marine24]

I'm just getting introduced to his work. I'm familiar with his ban treatment on other knives but this will be my first Ban Tang knife. I've got the mini-bowie and and ultra-thin Santoku kitchen knives on order, but may be a few months before I see those.

I've read about his Clinch picks on the blade forum and it is a slick looking knife. Pics for those that haven't seen them

Stitches from handling the knife?

Good eye. Hazards of being a knifemaker. Guess that proves that his knives are "Stupid Sharp" as he advertises.
