“Kwaiken”… in the style of Phil Hartsfeild
With its straight lines, 1/8” stock, American tanto profile, 0° chisel ground bevels, and in A2 tool steel… this 8” tribute to P.H. sports a 3.5” razor sharpened edge and is an absolute work horse… I’ve been carrying it for a week. It’s the very first item made from my new machine, and it’s ungodly sharp with the ability to perform heavy cutting as well as fine work where more finesse is needed.

Handle construction is antiqued hunter orange deerskin lace tsuka over grey cotton cord, with a Menuki of hammered 1/4” copper wire running the length of the show side

The sheath is kevlar lined aluminum Hartsfeild core, wrapped in epoxy soaked camo duck canvas, black cordage & lace, and solid brass rivets. The tether is made from 900 lb test abrasion/cut/fire resistant Kevlar, and runs 11.5” from the back of the sheath.

This tool is a true EDC (I hate that term😂) and I believe can handle anything thrown at it without so much as a scratch to show for it. The leather handle has been left natural, treated with Atom wax (the cotton underneath is fully epoxied), and will weather and age beautifully with every year of use and carry time.
