Really beautiful piece but it isnt supposed to be edged for practice correct? Could be a trick of the light, it looks sharp.

Thx. No it just has the look, an Iaitō is edgeless. A Shinken would be a Katana with a sharp blade. (Usually) not for practising Iaidō katas. But necessary for Tameshigiri = cutting a cylindrical tatami mat.

Thank you for the info. I’ve googled a few of the performances on youtube and it’s impressive stuff.

I’ve run into a lot of these when I was inspecting fish filleting operations. The ones with the backsplash are nice because you don’t have to clean the walls unless you’re really messy, the problem is there’s a seam between the backsplash and the table. That is a potential harborage area for bacteria. Unless you really need wheels, they can be a pain too as they’re a harborage area and they get fucking disgusting. They’re a pain in the ass to clean. I don’t know what your regulations say, you might get away with gross wheels since they’re not a potential food contact surface.
I’d check to see if there’s a consultant you can work with to find the ins and outs of the regulations in the field and location you’re in.
You should also find out what kinds of sanitizing agents you have to use, I don’t know what’s required in AU. If it’s bleach, you’re could eventually have a corrosion issue even if it’s a stainless steel.
Then again I’m only a former FDA investigator, some around here treat me like I’m an idiot and don’t know anything about food safety.

Well, to be fair, you are kind of an idiot…

Ugh, these Microtech OTFs are addictive. This UTX-70 Apocalyptic Hellhound found it’s way into the collection. I like the 85 a lot but this fits in an IH western shirt a lot better.

I’m jealous @Anesthetist. Sadly my state isn’t OTF compatible and by the time I get to one that is I won’t be in the market for any large purchases.
I’ll have to dry my tears with this badass…
Disclaimer: Don’t dry your tears or anyone else’s with this knife. The steel is not corrosion resistant and you will cut your face off.

Lovely Spydie, Bradley design right?

So my cousin has an Ultratech and compared to my 85, we both agree the 85 is a better size for an EDC and has a way better blade to handle ratio. Just food for thought, but honestly both are badass. I think I might start saving for a Troodon Hellhound. I really dig that blade shape.
