Just finished another one of my Toge Kwaikens. This one is a beefy little hand full of 3V. I gave it a nice dark acid washed finish. The handle is red hemp under wrap, a hammered copper menuki (hand made, not store bought) and then a black Ito wrap. I then soaked the whole thing in Marine Grade G/flex epoxy so not only does it look good but it is rock solid. On the spine is my signature tapered fuller, and I gave it a subtle swedge on the tip which makes for a needle sharp point.
The sheath is setup for any of the Tek or Molle Loks. And can be carried vertical, horizontal, or my favorite; inverted week side draw.
Thanks for checking out my work!!
