I appreciate the opportunity to list this Mini-kwaiken and sheath for sale.
[SOLD] $125 with sheath, FREE shipping USPS priority CONUS
Payment: PayPal

• OAL: 6 7/8"
• Cutting length: 2 3/4"
• Weight 55g knife only
• Steel: 0.130" Alpha Knife supplied 80CrV2
• Heat Treat: Home old Paragon Kiln with PID thermocouple controller. Soak at 1500F for approximately 8 minutes, quench in warmed (130F) Canola Oil, two x 1hr temper at 375F, water cooled in between temper. I don't have hardness tester except for Tsubosan hardness files, so don't have an accurate estimate. The 55Rc file skates, the 60Rc file starts to cut a little. That and a dollar will buy you a cup of coffee.
• Grind: Flat Grind
• Finish: Acid etched then stone washed in vibratory tumbler, spine satin
• Jimping: 20Lines/inch checkering file in three places. The ones on the top/bottom under the handle are a little more decorative than useful as they were ground a little flusher with the handle scale. The one the top spine towards the tip is sharper
• Edge: set at 20degree on grinder, then finished through extra fine stone on Lansky at 20degree setting
• Handle: Masecraft supplied browns point Richlite
• Pins: Copper
• Sheath: 7/9 oz vegetable tanned shoulder, British tan, treated with Nikwax, black edgekot on welt, cross draw loop. Note the loop is a little small and will fit a narrow belt 1" maybe 1 1/8. If this won't work, I can redo it with bigger loop or can try dangler style.
• If you don't like it now or ever, send it back for full refund, new knife or anything in between

Very Respectfully,
Ashwin
