Full Integral hollow handle

[farid.]

Hi everyone, I remember a time I started this insane project to build an all integral hollow handle made from D6 tool steel which has an integral Tsuba, it was actually built over a two year period, it took a total of 32 working days to complete, it took a long time due to the size of my engineering machinery but I managed it, I also built the cap from grade 5 titanium.
The Tsuba is mirror polished all around. This piece of D6 tool steel started at 28.8lb.
I hope you will all enjoy the pictures.
