Hi everyone! I took a bit of a break from selling to work on building some tooling in the shop and learning new techniques, but I'm pleased to be back and offer some of my new blades.

This one here is a large kwaiken. The blade has a 1075 core clad in pure nickel shim and A203E, and has a very slightly convex grind. The A203E has an interesting "wrought iron" look to it that you can see in the pictures. It is furnished in a beautiful cut of stabilized and dyed spalted pecan and features one mosaic and three copper pins. The spine is etched all the way through the handle for a neat little aesthetic flair. It is razor sharp and comes with a hand tooled black leather sheath suitable for vertical carry.

OAL: 10.75"
Blade Length: 6"
Blade Width: 1.25"
Blade Thickness: 3/16"

Here are some pictures. I would also highly recommend heading over to my instagram account to see some video of the blade and sheath: https://www.instagram.com/p/CAL2KgNAQow/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

I'm asking $380 USD for this one, and that includes the sheath and free shipping in contiguous USA. I'm willing to ship outside the country, there just may be an extra charge. PayPal business is my preferred way of payment. This is posted on other sites so I'm going by the first come first serve rule. If you have any questions or comments, I can be reached by PM or my email YozakuraForge@gmail.com. Let me know what you think in the comments!

Thanks for looking,
-Grant
 
Thanks! I was a little skeptical about the pecan at first because you don't see many makers use it, but boy does it look cool. It has some really intricate spalting and the dye definitely stands out :D
