Warning: Weird knife content

Hold fast there, Mr. Chef. Put away your expensive custom Hitachi Blue #2 santoku and matching honesuki, no need to mar that nice finish or damage that keen edge. Because when you're assaulted by belligerent bands of Yakuza, Triads, or Xã Hội Đen, it's time to grab your forged titanium alloy kitchen weapons.

Made in the profiles you know and love, these are the weaponly knives you need for those occasions when your meats and veggies are wearing body armor! Also great for flaying and deboning long pig.

These knives are forged and ground from 4al2.5v1.5fe (grade 38) titanium alloy. The blades are protected with thin, envelope-like leather sheaths made by Ms. Øye, a double layer of deerskin over thin cow:

The tangs have been wrapped with waxed nylon and deerskin grips for effect.

For real kitchen use, these wraps can be easily removed to reveal a single smooth shank of titanium alloy, great for a pincer grip. The idea was to make knives that are two triangular planes with the profile of a kitchen knife; from tang to tip, and spine to edge, the knives are basically flat triangles (they are slightly convex).

The fat butt ends give a bit of weight and bulk to the scaleless handle:

The blades exhibit a pink and green and pink coloration left from heat-treatment.

If you have a problem with that then take it up with super samurai pink power ranger Mia Watanabe:

Thanks fellas. I hope the knives do a good job, with their odd taper. They are about 13" oal.
