These are Japanese styled Kwaikens in the kata-kira-ba style of blade shape. This is an old-style, simple, chisel ground blade. Kwaiken means, under clothing. These blades are extremely sharp and strong. I love Pohan's work.
Thanks for looking.

Nice looking set you got there :thumbup:

Whats the steel on those ?
 
Thanks, Haze!

I have one more coming. A Pillow Knife, 3 1/2 blade, with a Hemp wrapped handle. :thumbup: These blades are 4 to 7 inches. Kydex sheaths.
 
Great looking set. I really like the look of thosa handle wraps...
 
Very nice. Ivan Campos of Brazil does some similar blades. I have his American Standard Tanto in D3, one of the sharpest and strongest blades I own.
 
That top one is sweet, add a turkish knot to it and man it would be even sweeter
 
Thanks, All!
Willrise---The turks-wrap are not for me. Tell Po to put one on your's. :D
 
Thanks, Mike!
The kata-kira-ba, is not the most exciting blade shape but I dig it...Big Time, obviously. :D
 
Lycosa: you forgot to mention the bottom blade (black over green) belongs to your 6 year old son ! Or is he 7 now? !
 
Oh, yes---The Black over Green is a Leu for my 7 year old son. He was six when he received it. :eek:
My gorgeous wife will receive the Hemp Pillow Knife---maybe. :D
 
Very cool! I'm going to try my hand at making some of these when I get my frst belt grinder next month.

Yeah if the hemp ever gets here ! lol.
You live in So Cal... I'm sure hemp isn't hard to come by at all :D
 
I am soooooo focused right now! on what I am getting next from you! (It will be a while though....:( )
 
Mike---Get a Leu Hempie.
You are an Eagle Scout so I know you will not smoke it! ;)
 
I like the little red one, Rolf.
I've followed the Leu exploits with interest.
Good work:thumbup:
I am a huge fan of hemp, and would very much look forward to seeing a Pohemp:).
 
Thanks, Lorien! I gave my brother A Red Kwaiken.
Pohan, please post a pic of that Hempie when it's completed.
