Amboyna Kiridashi

What do you guys think of this one? The chisel ground cutting edge is about 2 1/4", overall is 6 5/8". Handle is amboyna with brass and bone spacer for decoration. Steel is O1 and the top swedge is not sharp. I'd love to hear comments. Thanks.

The work is great!, And it is a great RIGHTY chisel grind. Great for Draw cuts! (pulling towards you) My three cents is put a little more of a curve in the top of the rear of the handle to fit the palm, and I would also give it a couple of thumb notches for better control and give some thought to a Index finger cut out as well just behind that spacer. looks like a real CUTTER! and Amboyna is one of my favorites! www.rhinoknives.com great RAY!

Thanks everyone for the thoughts and input. Laurence, when I grip the knife, my index finger and thumb are on the blade. The other three fingers are on the handle. This gives great control and I think it feels great.

I have never seen one quite like it and think it is fantastic
