The Honshu Combat Fighter has a 6.6 inch hollow grind Bowie tip blade. The Honshu Mini Tanto has a 6.25 inch hollow grind tanto tip blade. The steel on both is listed as AUS-8 but they have 7Cr13 stamped on the blades. They have cylindrical metal guards and rubberized handles with skull crusher pommels. Price for each is around $30.

These knives are alright, but I like the large Honshu blades better. I could see these knives as light camp or skinning knives (once sharpened up) or maybe for practicing forms. I wouldn't use these for any heavy outdoor or real tactical work, but they do look nice. I think these knives should be cheaper, $20-25 would be a more fair price for these.
