So I ran across this picture on another forum and got to talking to the guy that owns it. It was made by a knife maker in Thailand when he was there in 2009. I really like this looks of this knife. Just thought it was such a cool looking design I would post it up and see what others thought. He calls it a mini e-nep.
Specs:
Traditional thai e-nep shaped knife
Overall length: 11.8 inch
Blade: 6.7 inch
Steel: SK5 (high carbon)
Thickness: 0.25(+) inch
Visible hamon lines on the blade
The spine of the blade is extra hardened to strike a firesteel
The blade is flat ground and is tapered.
Supat left the forging marks/rustic finish on my request
Sadly the wood on one of the handles sides has a small crack; probably due to the sudden climate change. tropical to european winter.
It has two mosaic pins; I believe they're handmade as well.
