Double edge Kanmuri Otashi Wakizashi

[BenR.T.]

Hey guys, here is another cool project I just finished up.
It has a 16" CPM 3V blade with my custom Heat treat and Cryo and some awesome 24k gold menuki from Fred Lohman. The handle has a dark burgundy underwrap which contrasts nicely with the menuki.
The top edge is sharp on this one, which is unusual for this style blade from me.
It has a lot of sori, which aid in it being a wicked cutter.
This one was a custom order, but I can't reach the buyer, so it will up for grabs soon.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks very much all! It's a pretty cool pc IMHO, especially unique for me with these menuki.
