Greetings All,
I forged this San Mai billet at the New England School of Metalwork class taught by Ben Seward. The handle is wrapped with .021" stainless wire and all the fittings are 410 stainless - the spacers on each side of the handle are coined. The wooden sheath is wrapped with black vegetable tanned bridle leather and the stud is forged to a teardrop shape. Magnets are inlaid into the leather lined wooden sheath to hold the knife securely yet allow for one hand deployment. 10" OAL, 5 1/2" BL. Since it's the first kwaiken I've made, I decided to incorporate takedown construction. $SOLD delivered CONUS. The first "I'll take it," PM, or email gets it. Paypal preferred to tsteingass@yahoo.com. Thanks for viewing and all comments welcome.
V/R,
