Here's my guess at a translation (great knife by the way):

"steel products. YK30 steel forging. (burn back of knife's elasticity's disposal)"
The steel is roughly equivalent to 1084. It has been forged. It has been zone tempered along the spine for increased toughness.

"Protect hand. Bronze (dye black) ."
The guard is bronze with a black patina.

"Handle timber. Indonesia's water's buckhorn. .mosaic nail. Ox horn handle bottom."
The handle material is stag from Indonesia, with a mosaic pin and a water buffalo horn buttcap.

"Wrap radical's method."
No idea. Perhaps this means it is a single piece of stag, as opposed to a mortised tang construction?

"Qiao timber. Cowhide."
Sheath material: cowhide

momo,
That is one sweet little knife...I tend to favor knives on the smallish end myself (blade length of 4in or less) for carry and most cutting chores...

Now send it to me so I can try it out!!!:D

BTW...Nice lining on the sheath..Ya dont see that much anymore

Momo,

Great little knife, looks like it'll make a very handy daily carry. The only thing I would like to see is a bit more substantial guard. Good job, keep it up. :thumbup:
