The Tang has been covered with a Single Piece of Earth Camo Canvas Micarta ~ this adds incredible stability to the handle and leaves no Metal Exposed to the elements.
Hiroaki makes the handles of his knives with the ultimate comfort in mind. His knives are super examples of Form & Function – no hand fatigue, no hot spots, superb steel.
Hiroaki also makes his own thick Leather Sheaths, Hand Stitched. On this one he has added a new feature ~ a Full Kydex Liner.
The knife is a perfect fit and you can hear the Knife “lock” into place due to the Kydex Liner, this knife will not even fall out if you turn the sheath upside down and shake it!
Hiroaki also made a Custom Desert Ironwood Sliding Lanyard Bead, not just for decoration! If you want to add more Paracord the Bead can act as a cinch if you place your hand through the Paracord.
