The Kumu from Defiant7 Media
Published: 9 years ago
The whole "Defaint7" thing is what Chad Nichols and I are calling our joint projects, cuz I have been asked that a lot!
So first up we have our folder, the Kumu. Available FCFS at Blade show Booth 729
Kumu is Hawaiin for teacher and this design is based on some of the old school design elements that I learned from the late, great Stan Fujisaka. This whole "Benchmaking / Midtech" part of my work was hatched in a conversation I had with Stan in his shop some years ago. That is why I moved here to Texas, so I could go to machinist school and learn to bring that to my knife making. So I thought it fitting to use this design for our first effort.
The knives turned out very nice. They all flip great and I think the size will make them very pocket friendly.
The blades are either Acid Washed CTS-XHP or Chad's Stainless Damascus
