W2 Kwaiken

[samuraistuart]

This is my 4th kwaiken. I love making these things! The hamon is a little higher than what I was hoping for (better too high than too low), and doesn't have quite the activity I was trying to achieve. But it turned out OK. Sa me ray skin under the ito wrap. W2 tool steel 63HRC.

GREAT knife - hamons are like women: I love them, and they can be exasperating

Beautiful! I love it. I like the lines on it very much.

I like these longer slender ones better than the shorter squatter ones.
