The Raze. 1/4" thick 1075. about 7" overall. Black and Tan G10. Kydex sheeth with shock cord belt attachment.
The bottom one is a short sword that I haven't named yet. Its the second longest blade I have made. 1/4" 5160. 14" overall length with a 5" handle and a 9" blade. Black and OD Green laminated G10 handles with a hidden lanyard hole on the end. Kydex sheeth. I really like this one! Thanks for looking.

The bottom one is a short sword that I haven't named yet. Given the Japanese lines, I would go with yojimbo .... bodyguard |

Thanks. Yes, the Yojimbo is taken. I agree on a smaller version of the sword. I am thinking about a 4 1/2" handle and a 4" blade. I may order some material and try to make 4 or 5 of them this summer. I love Japanese style knives and I am starting to see more style from those in some of my more recent knives. |

As to making it shorter, it then becomes a Kwaiken... I would leave it longer, as currently there is not really any offering of this size and it would be well suited for some up close and personal work where you want a little more reach. Lighter and faster than a 'hawk, it would be tough to beat in trained hands |
