View Full Version : 2 Kurigata's - same influence, different execution.

Both I call Kurigata's but one is more recognisable "traditional" and the other is a no-excuse "Americanised" tactical styling with a stout chisel ground blade. The texturing on the Micarta handel which I call "Reptilian" is so easy to do it beggars belief. A little similar to the work on some Busse combat knife handles, but completely random. Thanks for looking. Comments most welcome. Jason.

Very nice Jason,

Soon there won't be any more Nicholson files around, they'll become collectors pieces in themselves;)

I very much like the "trad" looking one,

Thanks for showing
