I was actually aiming for the Basara II, which is a smaller version of the original Basara, but JKD ran out of stock. Coincidently, Kiku was coming to the states and brought this particular piece along with him.
-Brought by the `sensei` himself.- JAPAN > US > MALAYSIA insyaallah
Kiku was chosen and involved with this project from the beginning for the design work, prototypes and field testing.
After months of working, he finally came up with the perfect knives to meet with their extreme demands.
His grinding technique and special Hamaguri-ba made it possible. Reinforced thick Hamaguri grind tip is strong enough to penetrate wall and car body, and pry open the door and window.
*Hamaguri-Ba (Japanese Convex edge famous for Katana) grinding
Below are the picture of a newer version of the Basara.
Note that the riveted holes ( on the original ) were replaced by screws thus
covering the holes for a paracord insert / knot.
