Three birudashi and one mini, all single-bevels.
Two have left-side bevels and one has a right-side bevel. All are sharpened on the back side. They are ~0.140" CPM154 with 180grit perimeters and 280 grit bevels. The flats are mill finished and all but the bevel just has the heat-treat finish.
I'll add some better pics when I get some more light.
BTW, for those of you with birudashi, here's the correct and safe way to unsheath them:
1) grasp the lanyard and eyelets with the forefinger and thumb of one hand, NOT clamping down over the blade itself. The fingers of the other hand wrap around the 'handle' while the thumb presses against the lip of the spine of the sheath:
2) simultaneously increase pulling tension (not a hard jerk) while drawing the fingers of the knife hand tight and pushing with the thumb against the lip of the sheath:
When sheathing the knife, don't miss (!) and be careful not to bury the tip into the fold.
