Hane (Feather) Kwaiken - wKydex

[Josh Mason]

I'm really proud how these turned out. I wanted to make a larger, no nonsense fighter that was light as a feather. There's alot of weight reduction in the handles, and the balance on these is perfect. The swedge grind serves as further weight reduction, for ease of penetration and retraction, and for aesthetics. These are ground very thin at the edge, and are absolutely razor sharp. The sheath features a built in belt loop that is great for horizontal carry. You don't even know it's there. It's so light that you could neck carry this piece. I hope you guys like these.

I have several of them, and they are all as exacting as my hands can make them. Send me a PM for further questions.

Yes, I have made many lefty versions, and aloe
of knives with V grinds too.

I have some requests for left handed knives, so be looking in the near future.

Any chance of a leather sheath?

Sorry! I made a big batch of these and all have kydex sheaths already made. After these are gone, I'll not be revisiting them.
