Yanagiba
$650.00
Blade: 12" of .245" 26C3 at ~65+ hardness with a shiny side of satin finish and very nice although subtle hamon.
Handle: dyed and stabilized curly ash with a SuperTusk ferrule and G10 spacers.
The polished edge isn't the micro bevel, just the very end of the slight convex in the kierha (bevel) for pop & while unavoidable in a sharpened Urasuki, the scuffs drive me bananas.
Nakiri - Magnacut, premium
$600.00
Absolute slicing performance driven...yet it looks rad as well.
CPM Magnacut blade with a heat treat regimen to maximize its edge retention capabilities. Ground VERY high with a bit of distal taper and thin behind the edge. The blade is etched in a random fashion to mimic an extremely aged look, yet it performs perfectly and as a stainless with extreme corrosion resistance...it'll last and last.
Handle scales are fab'ed in house featuring ripple GCarta from GL Hansen and natural paper Micarta with segment of GCarta and G10s.
Balanced at pinch. Cutting edge is 7.5", 12" overall.
Del - slipjoint
$600.00
Nebula fat carbon fiber bolster, double black Canvas Micarta body. Inlay is the same carbon fiber, spacer is G10.
Action is smooth and crispy at 4.5/10. Level in all three positions.
Blade/spring are CPM Magnacut with titanium liners.
Row - GripTec
$425.00
The Row has a CPM4V blade with Rocksteady finish.
Scales are fab'ed in house featuring GripTec from @rocksolidscales that I cut/segmented for an even cooler aesthetic...which was already pretty cool. There's definitely plenty of traction to go with the cool factor.
Sheath is hand dyed/stitched DVB leather pocket slip...POCKET slip. Designed to be carried in a...pocket. It works...very well.
Professor - Slipjoint
$600.00
Blade/spring are CPM Magnacut with heat treat regimen to balance its toughness potential with the edge retention capabilities it is known for.
Scales made by me featuring that wicked cool paper Micarta from @knifehandlesupply and some old ass repurposed crosscut Micarta and a flash of color via G10. Liners are titanium. Hardware is brass.
Action is crispy and smooth at ~5/10. Super smooth.
