A pair for my parents

[Phillip Patton]

I'm not sure what to call these. I think they're kwaiken. The blades are about 3" long, of O1. The handles and scabbards are made from single pieces of curly hickory (from my firewood pile) and mahogany (given to me by mete). Finish is lacquer.

Thanks for looking, and, as always, comments and critique are welcome.

Normally I'm not a fan of chisel-ground knives, but those look really trick. :thumbup:
