Here's one I'm about to ship. 1075 blade, sharpened clip, stainless guard, bronze spacer, ironwood handle and carved leather sheath from Dad. I tried painting the clay ashi lines a bit tighter with this one...I kinda like it. What do y'all think?

Looking good, Ben! Blade profile and hamon are winners in my book. Great package headed to some lucky client.

I really like that tighter clay layout. Looks awesome. The knife itself is also great.
 
I like that one so much I'm going to steal a picture of it. That hamon is so subtle and consistent, and the lines on the knife are so strong. Great job!
 
Thanks, guys! After doing sooo many hamons that look so much alike, it's fun to try slightly different look.
