New Blade Japanese style from Russia
So to go along with my shooting and martial arts, I also enjoy knives. Standard utility folders for sure, but I also enjoy just good craftsmanship and looks as well.
This is one I bought just for looks. It's a Japanese mini-sword style, and I love the custom fit wooden sheath as well.
Nice damascus blade, and handle insert. Came with some kind of certificate from Russia.
It's 11 1/4 inches overall with a 6 inch blade.
I just love the design etched into the steel.
And the handle inlay is just a bonus. Putting a little finer edge on it today.
I think this will make an outstanding letter opener to keep handy on my desk!

Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful evening. Cheers 🌺
What an elegant knife! The detail is amazing! Very classy.
Thank you, I am really enjoying it. Put a bit of a better edge on it this afternoon. Looking forward to receiving some new packages!
Ha! That's a fun reason to look forward to the mail arriving! You'll be sitting beside the mailbox waiting for the mailman to arrive!
Beautiful crafted blade...
Well, I'm glad to hear you're honing that edge a little more, a desk-bound letter opener can never be too sharp; Although I don't need to tell you that I'm sure. One never knows when one must deploy said letter opener on a letter that requires a keener edge.
Nice little unit here K, me likey a lot.
I've had a Japanese short sword also known as Wakizashi on my want list for quite a while. They have a longer blade, 12-24 inches (30-60cm). When I saw this, I thought it would make a nice companion one day. Plus I just liked it's looks. A well-made Wakizashi is much more expensive. Maybe next year for my Bday.
