Here's a Aikuchi from Bud Nealy. Olive wood, CPM-154 with SS bolster, brass & mosaic pins.
Here's Bud's description of the knife:
Knives of this design were used for armor piercing (leather armor) in 15th century Japan. The spine of the knife which remains constant all the way to the katana-style point, offers maximum strength and piercing ability. It also has a fairly substantial cutting surface.

ahhh Gary, this one just made me drool...that katana point , the jimping on both the spine and edge side are functional and adds adds to the balance of this knife.

The Olive wood and mosaic pins really shine on that one, Gary!
Have a happy Wooden Wednesday, everyone! Buck 55 and Antique River Log Peanut for me today.
Thanks, Shawn. Bud makes a real nice knife and his designs based on stuff from antiquity are pretty cool.
I like that Peanut! I'm not familiar with the Antique River Log. Next stop Google search.....

Thanks, Steve. I like the Katana point too, although it's no needle.
Bud seems to go that extra step in making his knives a little more usable then some makers. Case in point, the jimping.
Nice Rosewood pair!
I really like those mosaic pins, Gary!
Mine for the day...
Thanks, Joe. The brass and mosaic pins really do set the knife off.
I like the wood on yours. Some nice old coins too.

Beautiful knife Chip :thumbup: You just have to love sunlight and a good burl wood.
A few different woods today but only carrying the 82. Old barn for a table, Turkish Walnut block, Cocobolo 73 and Osage Orange wood 82. Thinking of having the Turkish Walnut put on the 73.
