Bill, that is a really great looking recurve! Very clean, nice work

 

[bacustomknives]

Thanks guys

 

[Remyrw]

lovely as always. I particularly like that file work pattern, nice and simple but elegant. It's less busy than most and I think it works really well with the curves of that knife.

 

[Knifemaker87]

I'm ready.
Forged from an old Nicholson file, shobu-zukuri profile, hand polished blade with a hitatsura style hamon. Rayskin under green ito with burl bark menuki. After the picture was taken I resin soaked the ito and made a kydex sheath for it. i will edit the post with dimensions and sheath pictures as soon as i can.

thanks!

Chris I like that one a lot.

Bill, I was away in the mountains for the weekend and first commented on your knife after seeing it on an iphone. Now that I'm home on my pc again, I have to say that handle is even nicer than I first thought! Gorgeous!
