I named this one after one of my favorite prints in the house. I had to take a break from working on a big camp knife so I finished this one up. The 1095 hollow-ground blade is 3 3/4 inches long and 3/16 inches thick. It is about 8 1/4 inches overall and has green rayskin and a dragon menuki.

Thanks for giving her a look. :p

Yeah, whenever I pause to take a break from other projects I generally knock something like that out, too. In fact, I heard that Michelangelo was actually just on a smoke break when he painted the Sistine Chapel. Sheesh. Great knife, by the way. With breaks like that, why start any projects in the first place? Just keep taking breaks! :D
