Hey guys I just finished one of my 3V kwaikens and it is now up for grabs. Most all of these have a bright machine finish, this is the only one this size I have offered in an acid wash.
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.
This is my Kraiken model, which has lots of built in sori. Here is a video explaining the knife design and sheath benefits.

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 sheath is kydex and can be carried sash style with the included static cord or you can add any number Tek lok style clips.
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.
OAL - 9 7/8"
Blade - 4 7/8" 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. The menuki are hammered copper. The whole handle is Epoxy soaked with marine grade G/flex epoxy for durability.
Sheath - Kydex
Price - $550 shipped
Paypal or postal money order preferred
