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!

Made by O2 steel, purpleheart and home made pins. Also the leather sheat is stamped with home made stamps.
Big… overall 7cm. Love kiridashi because it’s the knife forged for my love, always in her bag.

It’s cute. It’s love driven.
