Just finished this yesterday. Its been a busy weekend between social engagements. HAPPY EASTER TO EVERYONE !!
The blade had been sitting around for a while, so I put it to use. 5-3/4inches of blade, quite broad on this piece. 416SS guard in this asymmetric shape I seem to like more and more. The handle is fiddlebacked Tasmanian Blackwood which has a terrific chatoyancy that photos can't capture. The choice was between curly Maple or this stuff, and I decided on the Aussie timber.
What do you folks think ? Does it need any further embellishment, or just leave it clean like this ? Thanks. Jason.
