I mad this a little while ago but just finished the sheath.

Blade Forge Laminated San Mai from O1 and 150year old Iron from a wagon wheel. The iron has a natural grain due to impurities during the wroughting process. Handle is made from a mystery burl that I found on the side of the road with brass guard and filed spacer with black wood accents.

Blade : 280mm x 50mm x 8mm
Handle : 150mm

Sheath is cow hide overlaid with crocodile skin.
