Purple acacia is a very unique wood closely related to ringed gidgee and koa but with a vibrant purple color that is much brighter than the unrelated purpleheart. Growing in very remote areas of the Australian outback this wood can be difficult to get and I do not know if I will be able to get more.
The MEK (Modern Everyday carry Kiridashi) is my take on the Japanese kiridashi; the small utility blade used in the region for thousands of years. Every day we encounter tasks like stripping wire, cutting against hard surfaces, or cutting through abrasive material that could damage or dull the blade of even the sturdiest knife. To solve this problem, the MEK uses a standard utility knife blade that can be easily replaced if it gets dull or chipped. The thin offset blade allows you to make accurate and precise cuts wherever you need to.
The body on sale of my modern edc kiridashi is made from grade 5 titanium with stainless steel screws securing the blade and handle. Each MEK has a stonewashed finish and includes one blade, one allen wrench for changing the blade and handles, and your choice of either a black or natural leather pocket sheath.
Be sure to pick your choice of sheath color as well as optional belt loop and jimping or let me know if you would like something a little different.
