That's awesome!! Way to change it up a bit.
To Elasmonut, I owned a real Japanese Kiridashi. It had 2 layers, one soft and flexible and one brittle an oh so hard and sharp. They are wood working knives, so if that's what you want it for, it would be very functional. Mines was given to me by an old military vet that said it was given to him by an old japanese blacksmiths son, when he was stationed in Okinawa.
