Yakuza Folder

[Chuck Gedraitis Knives]

I just finished this folder. It has a lot of Japanese Influence. The blade is 4-1/8 in long, made of 1095 with a nice hamon that curves around the tip. The blade has a multi-bevel grind with the main bevels being hollow ground. The false edge is flat ground as is the tip. The bolsters are tri-color mokume made of nickel silver, brass and copper. The thumb opener is also mokume and is made of sterling silver and copper. The liners are titanium that I textured and anodized blue. The spacer is titanium that has been textured and extends out into a skull crusher. The screws have been heat colored gold. Overall length is 9-1/2 inches and it weighs 5.7oz. Precision fit, finish and smooth action with precise lockup.
Price is $1140 shipped, insured ect.
Thanks for looking,
Chuck

Wow! Congrats on a beautiful knife.

I'm curious how you arrived at the top swedge shape there Chuck. It's not like typical Japanese shapes, no?
