    Joe Watson Kwaiken....a birthday present from the wife.

    It's impractical in so many ways for an edc/defensive blade compared to my custom special circumstances PD or the clinch picks I regularly carry and train with......yet I love this thing and I felt like a bit player in a bad 80s yakuza movie carrying it IWB in a suit yesterday.

    I totally understand and agree with you 110%. The Martial Art geek inside me just responds to that style of blade more than any other. I have a couple of those that I look for ways to carry as often as feasible (which is close to never), and I would love to be able to justify it.

    What revolvers are to Darryl, the Japanese blades are to me.

    Ban Tang Disciple, that I've had for about a year and never carry. It's a work of art but I'll probably move it along soon for something more utility oriented.

    Beautiful knife.

    I have a couple of older Watson Kwaikens (straight spine as opposed to slightly curved like yours) and, on top of being actually practical every day knife, they are a lot more capable defensively, with similar techniques to let's say a CP, than one would imagine.

    Much like! I wish I could get my hands on one of those. I adore my CP but I think a slightly longer blade and grip would be sweet.

    Agreed. I quite like the CP but I'd love to strap that BT on every mornin'.

    Ban's craftsmanship really is crazy good.
    Crappy pic of the edge, but you could shave with it or in it the polish is so nice. Which is kind of the problem- I get all nervous about carrying really nice stuff.



    Keep thinking about moving it for something like a Watson Magni. Should probably hurry up before the production Disciples hit sometime Soon™ 😉

    The latest from American Kami. Bruja B9S. Solid titanium. Even shaves hair with a little effort (which I've had many tell me wasn't possible with a titanium blade). Really like it so far.

    Cool. Did it come with scales?

    No. DJ sends them like this so you can do what you like with them.
