Here is a new design I have been playing with.
I am not quite happy with the handle, and how it visually balances and flows. It is perfectly balanced in the hand though. I am going to straighten the whole curve thing out a little. Pesky orders keep getting in the way of R&D time.
But I am pretty excited about this one's potential.
It was forged from 1084, differential heat treat. 1/4" at the spine thickest point. distal taper on blade and tang. 5" blade and about 9 5/8 over all.
