The Story:

As the name suggests, this knife originated from the remains of what was originally going to be a Sage Blades Short-Sword. I made a mistake during the heat treatment process which eventually led to the breaking of the sword. Long-story-short: the clay covering of the spine, used to achieve the “differential” hardening, had come off in a small area just before the quenching step. I didn’t believe this would be a problem, but I also underestimated the faster cooling rate (higher hardness) of the thinner, hollow, “fuller” portion of the blade. All seemed okay, though, and I proceeded to fully finish the blade and handle. It wasn’t until starting the edge sharpening process that I noticed a slight warp in the blade. Normally, a blade that has been differentially heat treated properly can be put in a vise and, using a lot of force, bent in a direction opposite the warp and (with luck) be straightened. In this case, though, the mistake made in the heat treatment became apparent with the snapping of the blade at the point where the hardening had gone all the way up to the spine (that was also the cause of the minor warp). About a week of hard work wasted.

This unpleasant event happened months ago. It wasn’t until recently that I decided to pick up the pieces and see what I could do with them. I reshaped the end of the blade and shortened the handle a bit. When it was done, I ended up with a mid-sized knife that feels well balanced and performs great. It is a knife that I would be happy to carry. The tip portion of the sword I made into a simple kiridashi that can be carried separately or attached to the knife sheath.
