A well used and useful piece since I received it from SFO.What is its history?I was never a fan of the rubber handled Spyderco kitchen knives(too flexible and the serrations on one side gave a slanted cut)but this one is spot on. What was the design theory behind the blade "dips"(anti stiction/suction?)

The dips are call a "Granton edge". Carries moisture and reduces friction. Actually they've been around for many years.

The handle is ebony. The piece is a test piece to see reaction. Currenlty it is available only at SFO.

The steel is MDS. Similar to MBS-26 with slightly less carbon (about .8).
