After a long HOT summer here, I'm finally getting some things done again, and today I put the finishing touches on this little guy. It's a fun little pocket fixed blade with a short 3 finger grip, tapered tang, and slim scales for light weight and low profile carry in the ambidextrous pocket sleeve. Comments/questions are welcome and appreciated; thanks for looking!

-3/16" 1080, full flat grind
-Tapered tang
-Clay coated, hand sanded to 1500x, and hand polished to show hamon
-SS mosaic pin and thong tube
-Stabilized (Burl Source) Redwood Burl scales
-3.25" Blade, ~6" OAL
-Dark brown hand stitched and wet molded Wickett & Craig Pocket Sleeve

I still haven't quite figured out how to take good, reliable photos of the hamon (please excuse the bit of lint on the blade in the last one )

Very clean design, and execution!

Great WORK! That sheath is superb, perfect for pocket carry.
 
Thanks Ben and Ryan, I appreciate it!

A few more (hopefully) better photos I snapped quickly just now as the sun is starting to set:

Clean, simple and therefore elegant. Beautiful work on the knife and sheath.
 
Oh, that is superb!
