Suppressors Thinking about picking up a Kiku Matsuda blade...

Re: Thinking about picking up a Kiku Matsuda blade...

I haven't ever gotten to handle one, but they look great and I love the splotchy etch finish that he uses. TAD Gear sells 'em, which speaks well of the quality. Let us know what you think if you get one.
 
Re: Thinking about picking up a Kiku Matsuda blade...

The blade on that is made from the same carbon steel that my Katan is made from - very nice.

Everything I've read says you can't go wrong although I am not so keen on the handle - I'd probably be more prone to use it until the handle starts to wear (Which doesn't look to be terribly long in knife-years) then put a wooden custom made handle on.

But that's just me, and I'm doing a custom handle for my Katana as well - most people maybe don't know how to do that stuff.
