A newer model from that forge/brand that --presumably-- makes the blades for RK Euro models. Found online variously as Kawashima, Battle-Tested, etc. Surprisingly good blades for the price. Short, very stiff, sharp, hollow ground (!), handles very well. Comes with meh scabbard, that -may- have a decent wood core to salvage.

Shipped, ConUS PayPal All measurements approximate Blade Length: 31 5/8"Grip Length: 7"; pommel 2.5"OAL: 41.5" Blade Width at base: 1 13/16"Blade Thickness: 1/4"Crossguard length: 7 5/8"POB: 3.25"Weight: 2 lbs. 7 oz.w/scabbard: 3 lbs. 2 oz.Notes: - Everything nice and tight, peened construction. No rattles/noises. - Stainless steel guard and pommel. - Miniscule curl at needle-like tip (came that way). - Very nice handling. - Weird cord wrap grip, that is affixed, but loose only at the pommel. Most pictures I've seen of this model show the same thing. - Handle shape/geometry is otherwise nice. Good base for re-grip project. - Scabbard fits very well, core probably worth re-purposing.
