I didn't have time to go to Blade this year but did finish this kodachi!

1/4 inch thick S-7, a hair under 19" OAL, 17.6 oz

This one has a 600x hand rubbed finish with a thin slicing edge (well, as thin as 1/4" spine lets me) and of course the vacuum impregnated epoxy cord wrap. Distal taper keeps the balance about 1 3/8" in front of the turk's head knot.

I'm getting better at the yokote!

Nice wrap and S-7 is a tough steel.
Very nice short sword.
Thanks for sharing.
