Waki Hoback

[jakehobackknives]

So....

This is my first sword its short and stout like me, and I really want to keep it... so dont buy this! please!

My first attempt at making a waki ended in me breaking it in half after trying to straighten it after HT 4 years ago! been too angry to try again.

This is not a super traditional waki, more modern with some old school for looks. I made this to be used but still look good. I hope I accomplished that?

Alphahunter tactical and I will be doing a short run of a tactical Waki in the future, this was to prove I could actually make one before e started

Tusuba is .5" carbon fiber laminated to the handle and tang. Then wraped in hollowed out coyote brown 550 cord, then epoxied in place to keep it there for ever.

That is super-badass, Sir! If I had a fancy-enough robe, I'd sell it for that fine waki.

Great stuff, as always.

Every time I have employed this strategy, the knife has sold rather quickly. I wish you luck on getting to keep it though.

Jake that is so cool! I wish I had the money to disappoint you and buy it. Will you be making any of these in high carbon steel?

 

[Striderco]

Jake, brother, that is freaking beautiful man! I think I need another knife from you!
