1084 Clip Point Kwaiken with Hamon - Cord Wrapped Handle

[Sam Stefaniuk]

Hey folks, This is my first time posting a thread here so please excuse any formatting issues and whatnot. I've been active on Instagram a few years but decided to start posting some stuff here, feedback is welcome.

This is a clip point kwaiken-esk knife I recently finished, it has a 1084 blade with a hamon, textured copper menuki, the handle wrap is epoxy soaked and made with 550 paracord. I made a leather pouch-style sheath that is designed to be used with a static line and tucked in the belt or waistband, my leather work is a little crude at the moment but it is plenty functional.

Steel: 1084 with hamon
Handle: 550 paracord wrap with copper menuki
Cutting edge: 5"
Total Length: 10.5"
Stock thickness at spine: 0.25"
Grind: Flat ground with decorative clip/swedge
Sheath: Vegetable tanned leather, setup for static line IWB carry

It's something a little different I guess, thanks.

I love this. Funds are a little tight for me right now, but I will wind up with one of these in the future if you make more.

Thanks, I'll definitely make more of this style in the future, maybe not identical to this one but definitely similar. I also take custom orders if you're interested in any particular finishes, blade shapes, or handle colours etc.
Feel free to message me anytime, thanks for looking.
