This one is a shout-out to my brother Obby, who I miss a lot.
Need a stealth option thats too heavy to use as a neck knife, but too small to wear on a belt? Look no further, my friend - I've got you covered.
Up for grabs is a kiridashi dumber than most, but still uber-cool. Is it tactical? Beats the hell out of me!
How cool is this?!?!?
What's that red in the reflection on the primary bevel? Is it really a reflection of the red t-shirt I was too dumb to remove before snapping this photo, or it is a premonition of this deadly blade's thirst for blood?
A full quarter inch thick bar of 1084, with a sweet forest green stingray underlay and a Japanese-style wrap that's resin impregnated for toughness and pure awesome.
Here's the full specs:
Steel: 1084
Grind: Chisel, with a small secondary bevel so a human being can sharpen it without losing their friggin' minds wearing down the entire primary bevel on a stone.
Sharpness: Scary
Tip: Pointy
Purpose: None
Here's another photo for additional awesome:
YEAH!
Carefully note the obvious red reflection in that grind. Can't be the red t-shirt. This thing is way too serious for that...
How tactical is this? Tactical enough for it to not be tactical... how much more stealth tactical can you get?
I was terrified the entire time I was making this.*
Your Mom called, and she said this is too sharp for you. What other reason could you possibly need to own this? I know that I ALWAYS do stuff Moms says not to.**
Let's take another gander at this sweet, sweet trifling:
Check out that asymmetrical spine. Whooooooboy!
One more:
No reflection while it's comforted in it's stealthy, synthetic-suede-lined kydex sheath. Perhaps it's only dreaming of the blood it's going to spill...
Forest green rayskin will add perfectly to your Xmas decor. Hell, if you were really sad and pathetic you could even use this lil' sucker as an ornament! How sweet is that!!!!!!
In all honesty, I had a ton of fun making this little guy out of the last bit of some 1084 from another project. On a lark, I whipped some rayskin and wrap on it and found it was really too cool to just sit on my bench and rot like so many other projects. It's too chunky to be a neck knife, and if this is your definition of tactical I suspect you have issues a knife purchase from me won't rectify. Would make an awesome letter opener, or a small utility knife. The tip is sharp and very fine, so it won't stand up to abuse. Of course, if you're abusing a knife that's only got about two inches of cutting edge, see my observation two sentences back.
$SOLD includes shipping anywhere in the continental US via USPS. Email me and we can arrange other methods if necessary, or out-of-country sales. Paypal preferred. I'll eat the Paypal fees.
It's a neat little knife, and hopefully it brings someone joy this holiday season.
Holy cow I haven't had as much fun posting a knife for sale in ages. Sorry to those that are offended by my off-kilter sense of humor, but I gotta tell ya, it was worth it to me.
*Full disclosure - I wasn't actually terrified while I was working on this
**Full disclosure - usually I do what Moms says.
