Kwaikens, a very nice Koa Hunter

HallHandmade · Jun 11, 2015

Been out for a couple months with medical trouble. These are the first blades I've finished since late March/early April. I think I may be recovered. Either way, happy to be posting again.

First up I have a trio of N690 and 2x2 CF Kwaikens. The blade lengths are 3.6, 3.9, 4.2 approx. 416ss pins and Orange G10 liners.
I'd like $195, $215, and $235 respectively. Price includes shipping and sheath. Payment via paypal.

Here are a couple more Kwaikens, N690 and OD Micarta with Orange G10 liners. Blade lengths are 3.6". Pins are 416ss.
I'd like $185ea or $350 for both. Price includes shipping and sheath. Payment via paypal.

Saving the best for last, I have a top notch hunter in Bohler D2. This is one of the finest pieces I've done lately. I used a piece of my private stash Koa on this one, K&G stabilized. 416ss guard and pin, G10 liners. 5" usable edge, blade is at 61RC w/cryo.

I'd like $425 for this one. Includes sheath and shipping, payment via paypal.

I was wondering what is the OAL on the two OD green kwaikens? Thank you.

HallHandmade · Jun 11, 2015

Standard point OD Kwaiken is pending, Koa hunter is pending.

Chris, the OAL is roughly 7.6"

Both of you can email me at ouspco at gmail dot com for info, my main at hallhandmade is temporarily down for another 2-3 days.

Both of those blades are still available.

Through all this I lost track. If the medium Kwaiken is still available, I'll take it. Let me know.

Ian,
Hope you are doing OK?
A few of us that purchased knives on this thread haven't received them yet,
or heard back from you in a good while,
which is odd given your stellar reputation.
Please let us know where we stand?
Thanks,

Hi,

I'm going through and contacting all buyers with a status update right now.

I slipped/burst a disc in march, and was completely unable to work all of April and May (finished 1 blade during that time).

I managed to get back to partial health and got caught up, got these blades posted, and then my back problems came back with a vengeance and got even worse to the point of incapacitation.

I'm at the point now where I'm at 1 day or even a partial day per week, at best. Some days I'm unable to drive or even go up the stairs to my bedroom. I will be leaving knifemaking until further notice, but will be filling pending orders and honoring my warranty.

I am taking steps to get medical care, but it is a slow process. My next doctor appt. isn't until August 21 (edit: I made that appt. in April FYI, so I've been trying to get help for this for a while).
