Titanium Kogatana

Life has been crazy lately and I have been travelling more. So I apologize for the bigger gaps between posts. I have here for your viewing pleasure a new kogatana by a new maker. His skill level is already high and likely to only get better. This lovely little knife is made from Titanium. The chisel ground 4.5 inch blade has a sprayed on coating of carbide. I do not know the exact process but it helps stiffen the edge and increases its cutting ability. The blade is indeed razor sharp and slices paper like a light saber. A cord wrapped handle is underlaid with genuine same gawa that is dyed a light grey. It is enhanced by a very detailed silver dragon menuki. It came in a tight fitting kydex sheath making for a very light weight, low profile, self-defense knife. All in all it is one exquisite knife and I hope Johnathan doesn't mind me using his photos, since they are far better than ones I tried to take. Check out Johnathan Mitchell's other knives at
