Small fixed blades like our Kyoto offer astounding cutting and thrusting potential that belies their modest stature. The robustly stout blades have wide, full tangs that run the full length of the handle. They are coupled with stainless steel guards and super high traction Kray-Ex handles that are stylized to mimic the traditional look of cord wrapped Japanese sword handles. The slim, comfortable sheath is versatile and will accept a bead chain lanyard or a Cold Steel C-Clip, so it can be carried in a variety of ways.
