I'd call it Neo tribal, but I don't want to get chewed out again. :foot: :D
Just finished up this order, and I am very happy with how it came out. I have done a similar one before, but with a longer blade. I am really pleased with how it looks with more compact blade.
The seppa is hammered copper and the tsuba is browned mild steel. It has a hemp wrapped handle that is epoxy soaked. The blade is 5160 with a nice antique finish.

Any and all comments welcome. (Even Rolf saying to make a chisel ground one. :D)






 
That is one of the nicest examples of that style I have seen.

Very nice
 
I like this very much. Kinda looks like a Marchand piece but it's hard not to with that kind of handle treatment..

Cool knife.
 
I like the finish on the blade, and it looks solid enough to pierce a car door. The copper on the guard is a nice touch also.
 
That is beautiful. What is the blade length, and what is the overall length? Also, how much is one of these?
 
Thanks so much for all of the kind words everyone! This one really came out better than I hoped.

OAL is 12", with a 7" blade. This one was an order. Any sales talk should be done through email or PM.

Wonderful work, Ben. Simplistic, beautiful and very cleanly done.
