Aikuchi in 1075 and walnut

I agree with the above post; you have crazy knife photography skills. I imagine that's quite a plus for a knifemaker from a financial perspective.
But then I guess, it depends how much of your time it takes up.

Thanks for all the comments, guys. Much appreciated. More to come!

Did you mortise your handle? And what is the adhesive you used?

Steve, this is true stick-tang construction. Block of wood, drilled and broached to fit the tang.

We should chat some time and I'll wax profound about my epoxy fetish problem...

Took a while to get the leather for this, but I've finally gotten the slip sheath done for this piece. Lined in deerskin, with a matching hammered and blackened menuki, and a black wrap to complement the handle, stained in the best dye I could manage to synchronize with the walnut handle. Off to it's new owner later this afternoon!

Everything looks great Matt, Nice work

The knife and sheath are so classy and refined that I have a really hard time believing they were made by you.

But man, what an extraordinary piece....
