I don't normally have all 3 lengths (4", 5" and 6" blades) of these on hand at the same time, so I though I should do a family photo. Especially happy with the top 6" one with blue ito, which I've never used before. Looks sweet with the classic white cotton cord I think. They all have leather wrapped aluminum sheaths that are kevlar lined. All are CPM 3V, double ground and around .215" thick.
The 5" and 6" will be headed to the exchange.
Thanks for looking!



6" w/ Warthog leather wrapped sheath and blue Tsuka Ito.


5" also with warthog leather wrapped sheath.
 
I'm in agreement that the 6" blue and white blend together perfectly.

The blade profile on all three of them is pretty damn wicked too! Like a 50/50 American/Japanese tanto shape, can't say I've seen it done quite like that before.

Thanks very much.
The original is the 5" that I designed for Joe Paranee a few years back. Lots of sori is small blade. It's a great performer.
 
Do you have any plans to ever offer your japanese line in S30V? or any of the high end stainless steels?

Thanks man, I am pretty pleased with it. I use black Ito 99.9% of the time, this was a cool change.
