WITHDRAWN WITHDRAWN is a Liontribe Designs "New Faith Kwaiken" fixed blade.
Here is a description from the maker, "this is an 8" version of our New Faith model. it is hard to see, but for some reason this one has a double hamon. the clay i applied ended right below the grind line, but you can also see a second distinct line below the smokey area. talked to a good friend of mine who know more about getting great hamon lines on his knives; he said that it happens some times when the stars align. the steel is nice and hard up to upper hamon, this knife just wanted to show out a little. this is from a nice german file and i wrapped it in dark maroon croc skin with a simple black wrapped overlay."
I bought this knife for IWB carry as a defensive knife, but it is not large enough to suit my purposes. I have NEVER cut a single thing or even touched the steel with bare hands.
I LOVE Japanese styled blades, and this one is a work of art, but for my purposes (defensive carry) it will not do the job.
I have owned this knife for less than three weeks, and it is oiled and sitting in the safe, good as new.
I paid $150 shipped (on sale from $165.) and
will sell for $140 shipped.
Blade measures just under 4" and handle measures 4". (8" overall length)
