These are something beauty that I wish to do since a long time. They will be very attractive yet strong,  different and unique. More? They will sport nice wood handles and handmade mosaic pins… more? They are compact and rugged, made in excellent O2 carbon steel and will be heat treated something more harder than usual.

And this is almost the final grind…

Something precious, for sure they will sport a lot of precious details:  unique patterns of jigged blade, pau ferro (a very strong purple wood, also called purpleheart), brass mosaic pins, custom hand stitched leather sheat.

They are utilities, with about 8cm () 4mm (.160″) o2 carbon steel blade with my leaf shaped idea.


The flats, I like so much this kind of jigging. It’s beautiful, it’s unnique and most of all is relaxing. Like scratching when phjoning!

Cheers!
