I have always wanted a Kwaiken. Kinda got tired of production folders like my common para3 spyderco knives (had 7 of them in different steels) so I have slowly been selling them off.
I started reading the knifemaker section of the forum and encountered Phillip Patton’s amazing work. Lots of talented knife makers in that area of this forum. And many of the prices can be a surprise (in a good way).
A few emails back and forth of what I wanted, dimensions, sheath material, color of stingray skin, para cord, handle length etc and one month later the Kwaiken arrives.
Very happy with the final product and quality. About the cost of two para3 knives or even less cost than a small plain Jane sebenza folder.
I didn’t want the common red skin and black cord so I went with hologram green stingray skin and cordless para cord.
