These are cool Josh, love the profile.

 

[Josh Mason]

Hey thanks Ben and Rolf!

Ben - I had one like this awhile back but it was smaller. I just kinda beefed it up a little. The double guard/swell really makes you feel a lot safer with this blade.

Nice! :thumbup:

It's a cool look with the swoopy profile and the american tanto tip. I am thinking double ground one with a 9" blade would be awesome.
Keep up the great work.

Nice grind lines very clean. Great work. Kelley

 

[Josh Mason]

Thanks Ben, you too man. I thought this profile would be killer as a wakizashi. Need a forge for that though. I have a tiny oven lol. One day I will have what I need.

Kelly - love your stuff man!

 

[Raider53]

Damn! Killing it man! If you didnt already soak up the rest of my knife budget....

 

[edgemaster]

Yes to a bigger version, how long can your oven handle?
Longer handle, longer blade
Call it the Raven and Ill take one.
Grind on brother.
I have one of your knives in pocket today.
