Sold! Thanks! :thumbup:
This is my “Diablo” kiridashi. It is certainly unique, and is the largest kiridashi that I have ever seen. The larger size makes it an exceptional utility or defensive blade. Kiridashis make great "all-around" use knives.
The blade is made from 1/8 ATS-34. I performed all heat treat and tempering operations. The relatively thin stock combined with the high hollow grind, make this knife a phenomenal cutter. The tip is ground in a reverse tanto shape, giving it a bit more strength and rigidity.
The handle is exceptionally comfortable in either standard or reverse grip. The wrap is nylon and is impregnated with epoxy to prevent unraveling or moisture retention. The under wrap is a choice piece of black sting ray skin. I chose a very detailed skull for the menuki.
The knife is ground with a chisel hollow grind for a right hand user. I have also ground a swedge along the spine that greatly aids penetration. The knife is extremely sharp, as the edge was polished and stropped. Excellent edge geometry. The knife is finished with a practical and attractive satin finish.
- ATS-34
- 60 - 61 HRC
- 1/8 Stock
- Hollow Chisel Grind (Right Hand)
- Razor Sharp
- 9" OAL, Cutting edge of 4"
- Kydex sheath
Sold
This price includes shipping (with insurance and tracking number) and all fees.
Overseas sales are fine, but the buyer will need to pay actual shipping costs. (This generally adds about $10.)
PayPal or money order preferred.
