{"product_id":"the-waygu-australian-steak-knife-misspelled-edition","title":"The \"Waygu\" | Australian Steak Knife | Misspelled Edition","description":"\u003ch3\u003eWe made three hundred of them\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is spelled W-A-G-Y-U. Japanese cattle — \u003cem\u003ewa\u003c\/em\u003e for Japanese, \u003cem\u003egyu\u003c\/em\u003e for cattle. We know this. We have written it correctly on a pricing sheet, a purchase order and a shipping manifest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen somebody typed it into the etching file with the Y and the G the wrong way round. Four of us checked the proof. Every one of us read what we expected to see rather than what was actually there, which is apparently a thing brains do, and we all signed off on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe error is etched into hardened steel. It does not polish off. And we did not find it on the first knife, or the tenth. We found it on roughly the three hundredth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe knife itself is right\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plain edge is the whole point. Almost every steak knife you will be handed at a restaurant is serrated, and serrations saw — they grip the surface, drag, and leave a torn face that lets the juice run onto the plate. A plain edge slices. The cut stays clean and the steak keeps what is in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also sharpens, which a serrated edge cannot. Send it back to Clarence Park whenever it needs it and we will do that free, for as long as you own it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark timber over a full tang, same steel and same balance as the rest of the range. The blade does not know how to spell. It cuts exactly as well either way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSo here is the deal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwenty dollars off, because we would rather wear the mistake than pretend it is not there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe corrected run will say Wagyu. These three hundred will not, and once they are gone that is the end of it. Somewhere between now and then, one of these is going to end up on a table where a guest picks it up, reads it, and looks at you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is between you and them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steak knife · [   ] mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel:\u003c\/strong\u003e [   ]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e [   ] mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e [   ] HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plain, [   ]° double bevel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark timber, full tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFittings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass and steel pins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEtching:\u003c\/strong\u003e Incorrect, permanently\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e [   ] g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall length:\u003c\/strong\u003e [   ] mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBracketed figures pending final production spec.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe boxed sets\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe correctly-spelled sets are four knives in a timber presentation box at $375, or eight at $750.
