Hi all,
This is an older L-6 blade I made some years ago.
It was well used with just hockey tape wrap handle, but I finally got around to putting a proper handle on it.
Handle is resinated denim, wrapped around the tang to avoid drilling out for the massive tang.
First time I'd ever done that and it came out quite well.
peened copper gaurd
a bit of visible hamon
and a whopping 22" OAL
all in all a little rough and ready, but I'm happy with result
