Made this to take to the Knife Show in May this year...
Its a little shorter than my usual fighters. The blade is forged 1084 - 6-3/4inches, sort-of Spanish notch, clay-backed hardening, straight satin hand rubbed finish. Forge-blacked guard, Buffalo-horn-look spacer and Olive Wood handle - Slab-sided like all my "Lightfighters" with ??eucalypt leaf cast pewter pieces inset into each side. Kinda like a menuki. BTW, I didn't make them...
Unfortunately the rather interesting hamon doesn't show up in photos (again!!). The second shot gives you an idea - can sort of just make it out. There are 2 hamons - one wavy up nearer the spine and a straight line that follows the edge contour.
What do you guys think ? Thanks for looking. Jason.
PS.- here are a couple of other shots I tried to use.
