What a beauty! The hamon and the burl look incredible together, and I really like the swells on the handle.
 
very sleek Mike. Nice job!

Del...Thanks for helping with the HT and Ryan for taking great pictures for me. I appreciate it all! Thanks everyone for looking and please let me know what you guys think!

WOW ! very nice I remember you mentioning you asked some questions of nick on the hamon but I don't remember seeing the results till now and they are stunning! I also bought a blade that is in process we'll have to ressurect the thread someone started for all the blades and blanks bought from Nick.
Again very impressive work and tell your photographer good job too.
