Obake Skoshi Knife | Designer Vision From Lucas Burnley

It's compact in size but still big on attitude.

It's compact in size but still big on attitude. The Obake™ Skoshi everyday carry knife has the same uniquely etched blade, cord wrapped ray-skin style handle and cool factor as its larger cousin. Proof once again that looks can be deceiving.

Designed by Lucas Burnley of Albuquerque, NM, the Obake™ Skoshi is an artful combination of a classic knife style built with modern-day materials and techniques. It's another example of Burnley's belief that knives are a personal expression of independence. And this one makes a statement when you bring it out for action.

A throwback to a classic Japanese design, it features a full tang fixed blade with a unique gray titanium nitride finish that's acid-etched to give each knife a distinct look. It's like he made the blade exclusively for you to throw down when the need for utility comes up.

The handle has a Katana style nylon cord wrap over a black faux ray-skin for an exceptional and secure all-weather grip. When storms or trouble are brewing, you'll be ready.

The sheath of the Obake™ is made from glass-reinforced nylon that provides consistent retention even in humid environments. A paracord lanyard on the sheath is designed to attach to your belt loop and keep the sheath in place when you deploy the knife. A skull bead adds a not-so-subtle accent to the paracord lanyard.

The Obake™ Skoshi isn't looking for work, but it's ready to show up looking like a boss when it's time to get the job done.

Loved the Obake! The Skoshi is a great option for smaller carry option.

I like this man; and I love his knives.

with the real Obake I cut myself in the thumb so deeply while pull it out of the sheath that I had to go to the hospital for 5 stitches. But I love the knife!

I really like the Japanese design, and the size is just right

[Howjadoo]

I really wish these knives - especially the ones intended for self-defense - had guards to prevent your fingers from slipping up onto the edge.

Well, love that the designer is from Albuquerque(my birth city)…. but why do people borrow Japanese words and then insist on saying them completely wrong? :(
