New pointy model "Dokusei"

I have been playing with some different geometry on my kwaiken/tanto models. This one was playing with the "Okissaki" style or long tip. Which is about 50% of the blade length. (Although it does not have a defined yokote.) I have named this model "Dokusei". Which translates to toxic.
I hesitate to call this one a kwaiken, with the full .285" thick 3V 7" blade and a nice full handle. It feels more like a small tanto. The distal taper comes to a VERY sharp point.


The menuki is an Antique Edo period piece. It is a shrimp with small shells. Metals appear to be Iron, bronze and gold. I was saving it for a special knife and it felt right on this one. The cotton cord behind helps you see all of the cool details it has.


Of course it is finished up with a matching bison wrapped, kevlar lined, Hartsfield style sheath.


Any comments or critiques are welcome.


Thanks for looking!
