Hey guys I just finished one of my 3V kwaikens, this one with a Shobu zukuri style blade.
This one has copper menuki, and a dark acid washed blade. The handle wrap is soaked in Marine grade epoxy for an extremely durable handle.
I offer these in either chisel or double ground. This particular one has double grind. This knife is razor sharp and the point is like a needle.
My blades are primarily made using CPM 3v steel. In my opinion, if Heat treated correctly, it is one of the best knife steels available today. I have developed my high performance 3V Heat treat, including Liquid Nitrogen cryo, to improve hardness, toughness and corrosion resistance. I have to thank Dan Keffeler for sharing his vast knowledge on the subject with me.
Here are the specs.
OAL - 9.7"
Blade - 4 7/8 Double ground
Steel - .210" CPM 3v with proper HT done by myself including LN cryo. My HT benefits not only fine edge stability but also increases corrosion resistance to near stainless levels.
Handle - Tsuka Ito with x2 hammered copper menuki.
Sheath - Kydex
Price - $555 + $10 Priority sh
Paypal or postal money order preferred
I will send an invoice to your email if you choose paypal
Please check out my website and let me know if you would like to order something. My books are currently open for orders.
These start at $400 for a basic chisel ground version.
