Misen 8.2" Hybrid, $60

Focker

As in mis en place.
AUS-8
15 deg
Nice bolster, should have a good pinch grip.
Stacks up well against the mainstream competition at almost half the price.
Seems legit, Kenji is on board.

I don't need another knife, but this is hard to beat.  Guess you can even send it in to have them sharpen.
I want a blue one.....must........resist......

The more knives you have, the less you need to sharpen, right?

Done deal.  Ordered a black and blue.

Done. Thanks Brandon.

Glad you got in on it Pete.  Will be a nice surprise on the doorstep this summer.

Been looking for a new knife!  Thanks for the heads up.

Focker

No problem Ozzie,
Kenji got his hands on one back in Sept.

Blue for me. It will stand out amongst all the black handles I have.

I backed their Kickstarter campaign a few months ago and ordered a blue handle for $55. Was going to be delivered last month but they (as is to be expected) ran into a few snags. Hope to receive it this month tho.

Nice!  
Would love to hear back after you put it through its paces.

Can't wait to get mine!  Hope it ships sooner than RTIC.
