Just finished this one up yesterday. 12 inches overall with a 6 1/2-inch cutting edge out of forged W-2. The handle is home-stabilized Honduras rosewood with mosaic pins. Couldn't get a decent pic of the hamon activity; but you get the idea. :D

Thanks -- this is one that I wouldn't mind keeping for myself too. :D
 
Luckily it was flat bar that was a little over 5/16 thick. Most of the forging went in drawing down that edge without screwing up the upper flats.
