Here's my newest fighter. A variation on a familiar theme...an 'Equinox' with filework and hamon. 1075 blade(of course);), Bronze spacer' and some cool ironwood...and let's not forget the fine leatherwork by David Seward. Thanks for lookin', comments/critique welcome.

Awesome work Ben! But we've come to expect no less from you. :)

That is some BEAUTIFUL 1075! I love it.
 
That's a beauty Ben! I'd love to have seen that hamon polished out... that one is killer!!! :) :cool: :thumbup:
 
Nice Ben, you're certainly liking the raised clips and I'm a fan too. I like the length of the clip on this one.
How long is the blade?

Cracking sheath too. You doing any custom studs yet? Or just sticking with the Sam Brownes ?
 
Ben, I love it great work by both you and your dad. Is this like what we were chatting about the other day?
 
Gorgeous knife and sheath! The colour shades of the sheath compliments the Ironwood. The spacer is a nice touch!
 
Nice Ben. You are getting that hamon to dance. Your dad dressed it up with style. Great piece.

That's a great looking fighter Ben! Striking profile, killer hamon...you pretty much checked off all the boxes of everything I like to see in a fighter on this one. Well done!:thumbup:
 
Love that the ricasso is not "long" "wide" whatever. Blade shape is perfect. Blade could use some more polish, maybe? Sheath compliments the handle perfectly. Fine work!
