Here are two kwaikens I just finished up for a knife show that is coming up this weekend in Eugene Oregon. These are both 1095 and have polished hamons. The larger one has OD green rayskin and a carved copper menuki (a feather) that I made as well. The smaller one has burgundy rayskin and a hammered copper menuki. The larger one has a 4.5" blade and the smaller one has a 3.5" blade. I carry one like the 3.5" version as my edc everyday, it carries very nicely in an inverted kydex sheath for a very quick icepick style grip.
Let me know what you guys think.










 
Love them both!

Awesome shape, hamon, wrap and choice of skin/menuki. I really enjoy it when guys make their own menuki. So far only you and Todd Gdula are the only ones I've seen that do.

What's your price for the bottom one? If you don't mind me asking.
 
Thanks very much guys.
 
Since I can't say "I'll take it" here... I'll have to be content with saying that they are very nice looking and I like everything about them. Mike
 
"J'aime beaucoup" your work. Your vision of Kwaiken.

If I can allow, I find your "slightly too present" marking on your beautiful blades....

"Just my opinion" ;)
 
Thanks guys. The pics don't show it, but the blades are highly polished. These are probably my favorite knife style to make right now.
