bladesmith "Mr. A" (Anucha) hand forged the SK5 Steel blade from scratch. Mr. A delivers an exceptional hand forged SK5 steel blade with traditional Japanese finishing touches. He skillfully moulded and shaped the blade, into a 3/4 tapered tang & Tanto blade.

Poom Chongkittiruk finished off the blade by polishing it to enhance the natural contrast of the Hamon and to produce a mirror finish on the spine.
