Build-off Dao

[Burchtree]

I participated in a build-off (5 days to complete a knife) and lost, but I am still very happy with the results. I got to do something I have been wanting to do for some time -- it is a stick-tang with some homemade mokume and forged W-2 for the blade. The cutting edge is 7 inches long and it is 13 inches overall and almost 5/16-inches thick.

Thanks for checking it out.

Is there aomeplace a person can see all the knives from that build-off? I would love to see the knife that beat that one. I think it's outstanding.

The way you point a Dao is not my favorite, Mike, but I HAVE to say, THIS knife is killer!:thumbup:
