Couldn't load pickup availability
SO, I’m just grinding though the first order of kogatana which will be ready this week. and as there was so much interest I’ve forged twice as many as i need!! Therefor there will be another ten available, and I’ll try my best to finish them by the end of March (2026) they are already forged and heat treated to I have a head start on the last batch.
I don’t usually make kogatana outside of custom orders so here’s a chance to pre-order one.
useful little blighters, designed as a paring knife, so used in the hand, can be used for peeling, cutting things 🤦🏻♂️ opening boxes, mail, fruit, you know stuff that needs a small knife.
wrought iron with 135cr3 in the middle. Dark ku, Small rectangular pin holding the handle on and friction fitting saya.
stone polished so far and then finished with finger stones, small knives pose a particular challenge to polishing. The usual non stainless steels, so will rust if abused.
