CS 26C3 Kiridashi
CS 26C3 Kiridashi
Drawing upon a common utility and craft knife design from Japan, this 26C3 steel knife incorporates Gabon Ebony scales and nickel-silver pins and hardware.
A black leather sheath is in the works as well, but I will need to add that to the gallery later. Because the steel is as keen as it is prone to rust, the surface was treated with PermaBlue and then tumbled for about 5 minutes.
This stout little knife came together quite well and was an absolute pleasure to build!
