just got finished on this one.

'Tranquility'
8 3/4" OAL 4 1/4 " blade.
stone ground, 5160 steel, chisel grind & integral structure.
the handle inset is horn, with brass 'cherry blossoms' .. and a MOP 'moon' (which didnt photograph too well)...and yes .. that is supposed to be a cherry blossom tree carved into the horn too ..

on the reverse side there is a sanskrit character carved in high relief... with a blackened background.

thanks for looking.

Another beauty. The polish you get on your blades is outstanding. The cherry blossom tree and moon are perfect adornments for this knife.

Neat piece Dion...is that an Om/Aum/however you want to pronounce it on the reverse side? If you made one with a more classical blade shape, I'd be tempted to order one

Haven't heard from you in a while, hope things are going well.
