Hi all, this is my first show here, I await your thoughts and opinions with bated breath...

This one started out, on the drawing board, as a full blown sub-hilt, but during further design and as it started to come to life my client and I decided to omit the planned stainless guard... I always wanted to put plenty of shape through the front of the scales and that guard would have restricted me just a little...

The blade is a full 7" long and is cut from 6mm Damasteel, the pattern is Odin '97, a limited edition produced by Damasteel in celebtation of 10 years of Damasteel production... Overall measurement is around 13", scales are of black linen Micarta and the fixings and fittings are all stainless steel.

Thank you for looking, Stu :)
 
I love the exposed ricasso / tang area at the head of the scales! Beautiful work!!!!
