They are very thin and the blades are very light. Great lasers.
I was very excited to get these, but the wa handle and full flat grind just doesn't do it for me.
The CTS-BD1N steel is supposed to be very stainless, but it does take on a light patina of sorts. I haven't tried polishing it. There are some light scratches from use.
I asked Spyderco customer support what the blades are tempered to, and she sent me to google to look it up
Spyderco Wakiita Bunka
199mm blade/ 184mm edge length
162 grams
Black G-10 handle
Box has clear packing tape all over it, but does well to protect and store the knife. Just not very gift-able.
this one is very handle heavy. The balance point is behind where the handle meets the blade.
I paid $180. Looking for $150.
