100mm kwaiken style knife made from W2 tool steel. The full tang handle has polished leather liners and a epoxy hardened wrap. This makes a durable, lightweight handle with excellent grip.
The blade has a differential heat treat leaving the mark down the middle of the blade called a hamon. The edge has been fully hardened and the spine left softer by using a clay applied to the blade during quenching. This insulates the spine and slows the cooling rate so it doesn’t get as hard as the edge, adding toughness, making a stronger blade overall and also a interesting visual feature
This is a carbon steel knife so it can rust if left wet or dirty. Store clean and oiled.
Comes with a kydex sheath with a belt clip.
