SZM 005 | Shobu Zukuri Mini Kaiken 3.5"

The smallest blade in our Shobu Zukuri series, with the same classic grind for excellent lateral strength and cutting ability. Part of our EDC fixed blade line, this knife is optimized for compact and comfortable carry. This batch features a RWL-34 Swedish powdered steel blade from Damasteel, known for it's purity and perfect balance of corrosion resistance, edge retention, and toughness while still being very easy to sharpen. RWL-34 is also an excellent steel for the Apocalyptic finish, with beautiful patterns on each knife.  Green linen Micarta scales maintain a beautiful olive drab color, which matches perfectly with brass pins. This is one of the finest looking combinations we have produced with TRC to date. The SZM 005 is a knife made for hard use, but with the refinement of a collector’s piece. This is an individually numbered batch of 125 pieces.
