Honshu Karito Kama With Sheath - 7Cr13 Stainless Steel, Injection Molded Nylon Handle, Lanyard Hole - Length 15 3/4”

I just got two in the mail today. They are great. They are deadly. And I mean deadly. The sheaths are of a high quality. The handles are sturdy. The blades are securely attached. The blades themselves are hair shaving sharp right out of the box. They are also alot thicker than I expected. Traditional kama are thin weapons that originated from grass cutters. The blades on these things are as thick as a bowtie knife. They came with a light coat of oil. Be careful when handling these things. They are extremely sharp and dangerous. I have zero doubt thses things would be effective in a combat situation. One good slice with these would put a stop to any aggressor.

This has to be the most ominous looking weapon I own! Looks like a mini grim realer sickle. Very unique and yes like the other review says, it will definitely shave hair right out of the box. Any weapon enthusiast MUST have this in their arsenal. Honshu really did a good job with this! If used defensively its not going to be a pretty picture if the attacker is dumb enough not to run away after seeing this.

The photos of it does not do it justice! It is beautiful! Deadly! Durable! Feels nice in the hands! And sharp! Love it!

I have been waiting several months for the honshu kama to be released because I loved the new take on an otherwise boring primitive looking weapon. Once I saw Bud K had them, I ordered myself a pair. To start off with, shipping was extremely fast, about 3 days after ordering I received them. After upackaging them I was pleasantly surprised by several different aspects. Quality, these things are absolutely beautiful. They are very well made, no rushed grind marks, rattling loose rivets, or blunt uneven tips. Weight, heavy & very sturdy. You can tell just by holding one they are extremely solid & built for doing some serious damage. Sharpness, extremely sharp edge. Many times items are listed as razor sharp & when u get them they can barely cut through warm butter. Not these, I'm talking slice easily through paper, shave your leg hairs (if you have any). I have many knives, swords, axes, kamas, ect... in my collection I have bought over the years & the honshu kama makes a beautiful addition. I'm happy to say it has over exceeded my expectations and is well worth every cent.

I expected the handle to flex like a plastic handle which I would not have liked but this handle is a well built stiff and sturdy handle. I gave it 4 stars because I like carbon steel blades and this is stainless. Never the less it holds a pretty good edge. When it's sharp and you hit your target correctly it slices through with ease. If chosen to protect ones self I believe in a knife to knife scenario just the sight of it would detour most attackers from further conflict. If you had to actually use it I would pity the attacker because it would be a very devastating weapon.
