[ashwinearl]

Hi, I have 3 more mini-kwaikens dropping. This one is a Maple Valley Richlite in a slightly smaller design with less jimping. The sheath has a bigger belt loop compared to the last one.

• OAL: 6 3/8"
• Cutting length: 2 1/2"
• Weight 51g knife only
• Steel: 0.130" Alpha Knife supplied 80CrV2
• Heat Treat: Home old Paragon Kiln with PID thermocouple controller. Soak at 1500F for approximately 8 minutes, quench in warmed (130F) Canola Oil, two x 1hr temper at 375F, water cooled in between temper. I don't have hardness tester except for Tsubosan hardness files, so don't have an accurate estimate. The 55Rc file skates, the 60Rc file starts to cut a little. That and a dollar will buy you a cup of coffee.
• Grind: Flat Grind
• Finish: Acid etched then stone washed in vibratory tumbler, spine satin
• Jimping: 20Lines/inch checkering file in one place. It is a little more decorative than useful as it was ground a little flusher with the handle scale.

• Handle: Masecraft supplied Maple Valley Richlite

Very Respectfully,
Ashwin
