The Maxace KARASU YENGU
This is the second fixed blade knife from Maxace and its well up to the usual Maxace high standards.
Karasu tengu are a type of Japanese mythological being (yōkai) that have the body of a human and the head of a crow or raven. They are associated with mountains and forests and were originally depicted as dangerous creatures capable of great destruction, though their image has softened over time to include protective spirits. They are skilled fighters, capable of flight, and sometimes depicted with a long spear or staff.
Several factors combine to make this knife special, including the 8 inch Hitachi Magic-SLD San Mai blade, a sculpted G10 handle and its Kydex and Carbon fiber sheath. It also has a titanium hand guard in the Japanese style.
The KARASU YENGU can easily perform multiple roles from a medium size kitchen knife, to camp knife, hunting knife or a general utility knife. Its tough blade can be used for fine slicing or hard chopping. Beat it through wood and it wont let you down
Comes in a gift box with a Kydex and carbon fiber belt sheath and cleaning cloth.
