Japanese inspired {a few recent blades}

[BenR.T.]

Here are a few of my Japanese "inspired" blades. All of them are 1095, with a polished hamon.
A couple Kwaikens, OAL 11"

A tribal style kwaiken, OAL just shy of 9"

ED TAC with Japanese flare. OAL 7.25"

Thanks Rolf. It is hemp. It is not chisel ground, but I have done a few chisel ground blades before.
