Got this standing order finished just barely in time for Christmas. 
. Had a little trouble with the lighting on this one for some reason. Probably taking them at midnight last night. 
Hope the pics turn out okay though.
Specs:
Hand forged from W2
11 3/8" overall, 6 1/2" blade, .230" thick at the ricasso
Full distal taper, clip is just a light stoning away from being sharp
Rounded spine and ricasso edge
Black g-10 guard and fittings
Stabilized Koa handle
All comments and discussion welcome.
The hamon was achieved with time/temp control of my salts with no clay used.
My hat is off to you photographers that can show the knife clearly and have a good image of the hamon in one image. I certainly can't. I can't even capture all the activity in the hamon in one image. Here's a couple pics of finishing the blade that show how much is really there.
