How the kamis come up with these names remains an absolute mystery to me but they are calling this knife a "Trishul Decker." I can figure out the Trishul but Decker totally eludes me. To me it look sort of like a mini bolo.
Here are the specs: About 13 inches and a bit over one pound. A shade over a quarter of inch thick and max width at belly of blade is 1 & 5/8". POB is at the guard. Blade is HI magic stone finish and hardened up to near 60 Rc. Good work.
The blade is beautifully done with a very nice convex edge. Handle fits the hand well and is quite comfortable. Handle has two ying-yang symbols inlaid on each side.
Scabbard has black leather liner (thin). Don't know where they came up with the leather but it's good quality, very soft and pliable.
Why they made these I'll never know and why the called them a Trishul Decker I won't know, either. But I do know this much. I have 6 pieces which I'll sell off for $95 each.
