this one was named by the new owner. I forged it from some 3/4'' x 1 1/4'' W2 stock I recieved from yours truely the nj baroness.....I mean nj baron 
I must say, I was directly inspired by the "cloud cutter" I believe done by D Fogg and J Fikes , so it is very similar but still in its own way unique, as my interpretation.
Over all it was about 34'' with a 16'' blade. I rounded off the entire spine except for the sharpened top clip, and gave it a full tapered tang. The blade also had a full taper, making it balanced very nicely.
It was clayed up and quenched in Parks then rubbed to 800grit, didnt make sense to hand rub any farther as I knew the new owner was going to be really putting it to work pretty hard as soon as he recieved it. Even at 800grit I was still very satisfyed with the hamon activity.
thanks for looking
