I just finished this one yesterday for a customer who hasn't seen it yet. A super featherlight personal carry / forged tactical with an almost 6inch blade and a decent sized handle that will accomodate a fencer type grip. Convex edge, the works. Balances on the index finger. It also has my new logo which is a 3D relief etch with the "J" on "high ground." The handle shape is inspired by Dusty Moulton, a little elongated and more rounded at the edges. Thanks for looking. Jason.

PS.- Here are some pics of me actually forging that piece and in the second pic there is a photo of the blade blank before I worked out the tang. I used one of my pieces of round bar stock as a fuller to draw out the tang.
