Thanks man, they were real fun for me to make, and made me step out of my comfort zone a bit.
 
I can definitely vouch for Josh's attention to detail and fine craftsmanship!!

Trust me.....they're as sharp as they look...even sharper!

Nice job Josh. I've already worn the 3 hairs off my chest thanks to the one you made for me......LOL.
 
Haha thanks man! You should see my left arm. Not a hair to be found! I'm glad you're enjoying your knife
 
Kiridashi is SOLD!

Thanks guys for looking and all your nice comments!
 
These are great! I will take the Brown Tanto if still available. I'll send payment through PayPal if you're ready. Thanks. Mike

If you're up for another Kiridashi, I would be also.
 
Hey mike, it's yours buddy! I'm ready for the paypal info.

I loved making that kiridashi, so I'm going to get 8 feet of 1095 from Aldo, and dedicate it to some more. Keep an eye out.

Brown tanto is SOLD Thanks Mike!
 
I'm gonna make a hundred of these kiridashis....lol. This one was a scrap piece off the end of a 4 foot bar, and I thought it would be fun to try. It was, and I'm gonna continue to do them. It's such a sweet little knife in the hand too. Scary sharp.

Hmm....Lizard....
 
Scrap Metal...really, scrap metal...hmmm that is what is coming? Wow...I wonder what it would look like if it was in the middle of the rod...lol
 
Haha I didn't mean scrap as in junk. :p I cut up a 4 foot bar of 1095 and had this little piece left over. It was already cut at an angle and i was like.......KIRIDASHI! Lets do it!

Turned out really great, and I think you're going to love it. I sure do!
