Asian Blades

[Serge Panchenko]

Hi all, wanted to show some blades I just completed. The Kwaikens and the Dao are 1080 clay tempered steel, the Kiridashis are old Nicholson files, one is clay tempered one is full quenched. All but the Dao and Kiridashi with the hamon are orders. Anyways, hope you guys like them.

 

[SBranson]

Beautiful! They all look great. I really like your take on the kiridashi.

I really like those kwaikens a lot. Copper handled steampunk kwaiken would be great. :thumbup:

 

[stabber]

they look great Serge!!

 

[Lorien]

did I mention I carry one of your little knives every day? : )
she's not just a looker- holds and takes an edge too. It's one of my favourite knives. These little guys look great!

 

[Calhoon]

I love the elegant sweep of those kwaikens! Very nice! :thumbup:

 

[Burl Source]

They all look great!

Jos

These are beautiful Serge! I really love the style on these.

Can you pm me how much you're asking for a no frills, bare bones kwaiken?

Thanks in advance.

The Kwaikens are very cool

Nice on all accounts

Very nice Serge. The temper lines looks awesome.

 

[Storm Crow]

Those have got to be the funkiest hamons I have ever seen! I like 'em all.

What's would that be used for? Where could I find more info on that style? When I search the internet on "dao" I find more generic sword info.

 

[peterinct]

VERY cool Serge. They ALL look like they would be handy to use.

Thanks guys. Lorien, glad to hear you still carry that Kwaiken! Phil, not much info on small Dao's, Michael Burch popularized these I believe.
