That's one of the nicest butt I saw on HI.

Blade shape is nice. I hope we'll see more of those.
 
That's a unusual mark on the wood- near the bolster. I assume natural.
Otherwise it looks like a stain of some type.
Unusual to see the handle unfinished.
Buttcap looks all the more striking.

Wow, that is a really beautiful piece. I like the contrast between the unfinished handle and the white metal bolster and engraved buttcap. Bura continues to amaze:)
 
Hmmmm. 1/4" spine. Light & fast. Maybe not a chopper but definately a slasher.
