Hey guys I just finished one of my 5" 3V kwaikens and it is now up for grabs.
This one has copper menuki, and warthog leather (super tough and cool) on the Hartsfield style sheath. The wrap is soaked in Marine grade epoxy for an extremely durable handle.
I offer these in either chisel or double ground. This particular one has double grind. I grind these down to a near zero edge and put a small micro bevel on it. This aids in edge durability and also ease of sharpening.This knife is razor sharp and the point is like a needle.
Here is one push cutting through 3/4" of Veg tan leather
This particular one is .210" CPM 3v with a double grind down to a razor sharp edge and point.
The "sageo" adds grip when tucked in your belt, and also extends to act as a static cord.
My blades are primarily made using CPM 3v steel. In my opinion, if Heat treated correctly, it is one of the best knife steels available today. I have developed my high performance 3V Heat treat, including Liquid Nitrogen cryo, to improve hardness, toughness and corrosion resistance. I have to thank Dan Keffeler for sharing his vast knowledge on the subject with me.
I have been carrying and using a tanto style pocket knife for over ten years straight. When I say "tanto" I am really referring to the grind style as that is what it is generally know as here. The utility nature of the tanto blade shape I think is underrated and often misunderstood. The angled front edge works awesome for scraping, much like a chisel. And the secondary point where the bevels meet means the blade cuts deeply on a pull cut or stab. The grind also reinforces the tip for piercing.
Here are the specs.
OAL - 9.6"
Blade - 5" Double ground
Steel - .210" CPM 3v with proper HT done by myself including LN cryo. My HT benefits not only fine edge stability but also increases corrosion resistance to near stainless levels.
Handle - Tsuka Ito with x2 copper menuki.
Sheath - aluminum sheath with warthog leather overwrap and kevlar lining.
Price - $655 + $15 sh
Paypal or postal money order preferred
