I take things slow, and this project took me a year to complete (partially because I'm still a student, but mostly because I kept goofing up). This theme, with the black, ivory, koa, and hamon, was in my head for a long time and I finally finished it. It may not look that challenging but for some reason, it was really difficult for me :)

Very nice. On fixed blades with natural materials and a hamon I am usually partial to a more traditional swooping lines type style but do like the marriage of angular precision contrasted with the natural materials. Kinda like a sky scraper made of wood. Very nice man. And as a guitar enthusiast I really can appreciate the flamed koa.
 
well, what a different, interesting and beautiful take on such a knife. very nice. thank you for sharing.
