Kwaiken Tanto with clay hamon and brown ebony burl

[Knifemaker87]

hey everybody!

a quick note... i havent made the sheath for this knife yet... it will depend on the personal preference of the buyer. (my only restriction is that i start work on monday... so the word is.. chop chop *grins*

A very good freind of mine (semi significant other) helped me design it... so i cant take all the glory she was the one who helped design and inspire it. This blade is very light... it is a spring temper and becasue of the grind is EXTREEMLY sharp, with enough force and finesse you could sever body parts (not recomended) but it is a very light lively blade with great balance... you have to hold it to understand completely...
on to the specs:

1095 clayed blade
Parks #50 quenched
double tempered
polished to 600 grit then buffed
Brass seppa and spacer
Micarta "tsuba"
Grenedillo burl one peice handle
almost full length, hidden tang
11 3/4" OAL
6 1/2" blade 1/8" thick distal tapered

I am asking $250 for this knife.. so some of it can go to Grace, who helped me with it. shhhhhh she doesnt know it yet
Please let me know if you are interested at Knifemaker87@gmail.com I prefere paypal

thanks!
