I think Chowrin link is correct. I remotely remember it was about $120, which is a very good price for a SG2 steel knife. Now, I personally do not like the Ken Onion handle, but we know plenty of people do.

meh, who uses a knife handle :P

Kidding aside, Im right there with you, something about that handle bugs me to use even though I pinch grip.

:D Aside from joking, you made a good point. Like you said, if one is to use pinch grip (which you and I do), then the importance of the exact shape of the knife handle is marginalized. However, this Ken Onion knife handle is quite a bit above the knife spine. Except for some specialized knives like the bread knife, I prefer not to have a offset/offcenter knife

Still, $120 for a SG steel 7" Santoku is a really good deal. Most of these sales include unusual knives which very few people find too be useful, like a small 4" Santoku or a U2 knife:

Same here. I found the KO handles uncomfortable with a pinch grip and impossible to use other grips.  I see them as training wheels for people that don't know how to pinch grip...helpful at first, but eventually becomes a hinderance.

Sold out just after 10 am.

Nice price for the great steel and great brand. Sold out already -- not surprising. Thanks.
