Okay, so there isn't a historical asian dubh, but it looked like an Asian-influenced Scottish knife when I finished it. :D

Anyway, the blade started out at 3/16, but I ran the bevels up to thin the whole blade the sorta "hexed" the edges. (see the second pic). It has a 3-inch blade and is 7 1/2 overall out of W-2. I'm not getting as much hamon activity as I'd like, but working on that. :D

That is a very, very nice looking knife. I don't think it looks like a dubh, but it does look great.
 
Great work!

I'm a sucker for wrapped handles and hamons............ :( ;)
 
Kinda cute. Sometimes small blades are infinitely more useful than their lengthier brothers.
