Hey guys, I haven't been able to put anything up for grabs lately, been super busy with order and such. But I'm finally caught up and I have a couple special/unique kraikens available. The 6" one has Navy blue Ito with a classic cotton underwrap and turks knot.
The 5" features a custom skull and crossbones menuki.
Both include a Warthog leather (crazy tough stuff) wrapped aluminum sheath that is kevlar lined.
Here is some info on these models.....
I offer these in either chisel or double ground. These particular ones are double ground. I grind these down to a near zero edge and put a small micro bevel on them. This aids in edge durability and also ease of sharpening.The knives are razor sharp and the point is like a needle.
The handles are soaked in West systems marine grade epoxy. They are rock solid and durable.
Here is a video explaining the kraiken knife design and sheath benefits.
Here is one push cutting through 3/4" of Veg tan leather
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.
These are designed as a hard use utility/fighting knife.
Here are the specs.
