I had to share some pictures of this beautiful knife and short sword combo that arrived today. MAKO!!

Maker: Steve Corkum
1050 High Carbon steel, convex "zero grind" with AMAZING hamon (temper) lines. Black wrap over black ray skin. Wicked sharp.

I love the lines of these knives and was lucky enough to score the matched set number 0 from Steve. Incredible craftsmanship went into these knives. He's a cool guy too. :)

Yes.., very nice work. The temper lines just look great! Enjoy, and thanks for sharing!

Exceptionally high quality work. I like the looks of these two very much. The blade shape is different than I am used to, and I like it.
 
This knife is on my desktop right now, and it has been since you posted these pictures, it's some sort of record since i have 1,942 knife pics on my hard drive.

What is the balance like ? and what is the blade thickness (average)?
