Here is my latest sword 3V and Titanium

the blade is CPM 3V 28” Rockwell 61
The Habaki is mokume but you can’t see it in this photo.
the Fuchi/Kashira, tsuba and Menuki are all titanium that I heat colored
The handle is Tero tuf wrapped with Ray skin and tsunami cord.

Thanks for looking
Dan

That's pretty damned cool.

Tsuka looks to be about 14"?

the Tsuka is 11" I think some of the pics make it look longer.

Yep. The perspective threw my ruler off. I'm glad you kept the tsuka at a sane length. I wish I could get the chance to handle one of these katanas of yours.
