Ohta doesn't always use a bar shield

Case in point. I've had this 'un for a while and since the weather was nice I thought I'd snap some pix:

You got my attention with your thread name Mikeymoto.

I want one. That is sweet.

 

[Morrow]

That's a fatty.......great knife.

 

[kidwholaughs]

Nice, that's our BFC 09 jk. But that's beautiful.

God Bless

I do like Hiroaki's work. That's a purty one!

 

[MattWRog]

It is a chunky little bugger, very nice.

Chunky lit'l feller - I like it. Ohta is one of my favorite slippie makers and I try to keep an eye on his work, but that pattern's a new one on me.

Very nice indeed.

That knife ain't fat or chunky, just a might husky! Very nice!

On a smaller (length) frame like that,a little width is good,it gives a small knife,a "bigger knife" feel Not everyone wears slacks
A great combo of two blade profiles,as well
Its sweeet

At 4 oz. it's no featherweight. I'm not complainin', I'm just sayin'. I like the width and the heft, and the stag offers excellent grip. Oh and it looks good.

I think thats the first one of his knives I have seen that didn't have a bar shield.
Any idea when that one was made?

 

[sextant]

Beautiful knife! Hiroaki does excellent work. With 4oz. - how long is it?

Thanks,
Peter

I ordered it from him earlier last year and he finished it in August '09. It has a brother too. A two blade barlow with acorn shield.

Closed length 3.5"

The stag on that knife is delicious

 

[Morrow]

any chance of top down pic with the blades open?

That is one sweet Otha Mike:thumbup:

You don't see many of his without the Bar shield, thats for sure. I don't recall seeing very many of his with two blades, bolster and a cap either.
I've seen them, but have seen many more with just a single blade, bar shield, and bolster.
