First one in a while

[DEllis]

Finally finished up this blade that's been waiting for months.
Here're the specs.
Blade is 7 3/8 inches tip to guard of my own "Armstrong Damascus" Laddered w's. 15n20 and 1084, .200 inch thick with full distal taper. 1.5 inches wide.
OAL is a hair over 12"
Weight is 9.5oz
Handle is stabilized birch burl
Guard is textured mild steel
Spacer is antiqued 416 stainless.
Balance is just ahead of the guard.
Fast and light

All comments and critique welcome.
Thanks,
Darcy

Darcy, I always enjoy seeing your work, I like your style, your use of materials, the way you use textures as embellishment!

Nice work, well done.
