I have Up for grabs my 4.5" kwaiken. This one has a hemp underwrap, a brown tsuka ito and a very nice frosty hamon.
I carved a copper feather for the menuki. This one was ground to near zero and convexed into a very sharp edge and point.
The handle is soaked in Minwax wood hardener. This makes is rock solid, but with a very natural look. The blade is flat ground.
The blade is is highly polished (although the pics don't show) with a frosty hamon
Thanks for looking!!
