Just Finished - Smallwood Kwaikens in 1095

[Erin Burke]

So I'm calling these "Smallwood Kwaikens", because there's a small piece of wood inset in each handle. It's not an especially creative name, I suppose... but I think it works.


Some Stats:
Length: 5-31/32" (so basically 6")
Blade: 2-13/16" (Tip to choil), 0.153" thick in front of the wrap
Weight: ~50g
Steel: Differentially Heat-Treated 1095
Handle: 550-cord wrapped and treated with West Systems epoxy. Wood inserts as shown
Sheath: Carbon Fiber Kydex on front, Black in back

You might notice that I didn't put my mark on the last (Walnut) knife. When sanding it out, I noticed that the hamon blobbed out a bit near the tip... so I left it with a satin finish, and have a good excuse to keep it for myself.


Here it is strapped to my pack.

Thanks for looking.

love the knives, but the name has got to go. No man wants to brag that he has small wood. Just sayin...
