About this model

Kwaiken or Kaiken (dagger)is a 20–25 cm (8–10 in) long, single or double-edged dagger without ornamental fittings housed in a plain mount. 

It was once carried by men and women of the samurai class in Japan. It was useful for self-defense in indoor spaces where the long blade katana and intermediate sword wakizashi were inconvenient.

CPM 3V

CPM 3V is a high toughness, wear-resistant tool steel made by the Crucible Particle Metallurgy process. It is designed to provide maximum resistance to breakage and chipping in a high wear-resistance steel.
