Kozuka & Kwaiken for the Japanese style fans

[jujigatame]

I've had these two for a while but I don't think I ever showed them here. Took a few pics of them together recently and thought some folks might like to check them out. One is more traditional, the other more modern, but both are great knives.

The Kozuka is from RJ Martin. A2 steel with the epoxy soaked cord wrap over rayskin. Super crisp chisel grind is scary sharp. A mean cutter.

The Kwaiken is by Lucas Burnley. Blade is coated O1 and the handle is gutted paracord over griptape. Very sharp with a wicked point. Extremely lightweight and easy to carry.
