This one sports a full convex zero edge along with a rounded spine. The tang is also tapered all the way up to the choil. Handle slabs were replaced with some custom Red/Black/Olive (Dragons Breath) ShadeTree Phenolics micarta and the rear talon hole is enclosed. The rounded spine gives the illusion of the blade being very thin. I just mic'd the blade thickness at .190. The standard AK is .20.

This specimen is perfectly balanced and wicked fast for a sword. The standard AK feels almost clunky and sluggish after whirling this bad boy around. Balance point is slightly forward of the choil and noticeably lighter than a standard AK. This is one finely tuned zombie slayer :D
