North Mountain Blade Kwaiken 3K - 3.4" SLD-Magic Steel Drop Point Blade, 3K Carbon Fibre Handle

Introducing the latest addition to the North Mountain Blade classic cutting series—the Teardrop Blade version. This blade embodies the essence of traditional Japanese knives, like the Kwaiken, blending modern knife-making techniques with traditional aesthetics. The teardrop-shaped blade offers unparalleled practicality for both cutting and piercing, making it more suitable for daily use compared to the Tanto blade.

Craftsmanship and Material: The blade is crafted from high-performance SLD-Magic steel, produced in Japan, with a core hardness of 60HRC, designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor use. Our exclusive surface treatment ensures genuine hot-forged patterns on the blade steel, as opposed to laser engravings, resulting in an authentic layered steel construction. The surface finish is achieved through a patented polishing technique by skilled artisans in our factory, showcasing a three-layer gradient gloss: the lower part of the blade features a mirror-like shine, the middle part has a misty effect, and the upper part is frosted, reminiscent of the exquisite finish of a traditional Japanese samurai sword.
