One in the works

[atakach]

Here's another I have in the works, it's 01 tool steel. It will measure 15'' o.a. once the spacers and pommel are on , and the blade is 9 7/8'' tip to guard.

The guard is forged 1018, and the handle is figured walnut. It will have a 1018 spacer with some type of detail to it, and the pommel will be of the same material.

I was going to go with all stainless hardware but really liked this guard, and I had forged it a while back, so it's about time I finally used it.

here's some photos so far

any thoughs and or criticism are welcomed, and thanks for looking,

Great job Andrew! I am mustering up the courage to try me a hidden tang.
