Blue Imperial

[Burchtree]

I haven't posted one in a while so I wanted to show that I am still makin' knives.

This one is an order and has a 6 1/4-inch blade of 1/4-inch thick hollow-ground W-2 and is about 11 3/4 inches overall. The hamon is pretty interesting, you can kinda see it in the second pic.

The underlay is homemade-dyed rayskin. Thanks for giving a look -- any criticism is more than welcome.

It looks spectacular, Michael!

Very nice, as all your pieces are. I really like the shade of blue for the ray skin, it doesn't get lost against the handle wrap and it is a nice contrast with the bade steel and cool silver munuki. The hamon is very nice, kind of random and organic looking. What kind of sheath is it getting? Your on my list...keep up the good work.
