Overview
UJI which means "Clan" or "Family" is a fitting name for this time proven warrior's blade. The Newt Livesay UJI is an original knife design from the Wicked Knife Cutlery and Manufacturing CompanyTM facility in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. When looking down the spine on a UJI the blade has a very noticeable curve. This is not just a "bend" blade, but a curve that is formed into the blade during heat treat by placing the red-hot blades in a "jig." The curve blade of the UJI isn't a good design for whittling, etc., but it does lay hidden very nicely against your inter-forearm when held in a reverse style. Made of one-eight inch thick 1095 high carbon tool steel, differentially heat-treated to a 59-60 Rockwell on the “C” scale, triple drawn. A final DeepCryo Quench at sub-zero temperatures is preformed before the knife is assembled. This UJI has a visible hamon, green linen micarta scales with full tang construction, .126" blade stock and .947" blade depth. This knife has some sheath marks on the blade, otherwise good condition. Comes with a green kydex sheath with belt clip.
