San mai integral, bolster and pommel

[claudio-cas]

Hey guys, long time that I have been trying to do and so far had fracazado. Probably look like a common mai san, but it is quite difficult.
To do this I had to use very large thicknesses of 410 and less of 52100
The blade measures 230 mm and the total length is 365 mm.
The handle is stabilized redwood.
Here I show the photos.
Best regards.
Claudio

That's class all the way. Very nicely done. Love the way that you kept the center bar of the San Mai so straight & centered and your fit & finish is exemplary! :thumbup:

Wow, that couldn't have been easy. I really like the way the core is visible in the butt of the knife. Excellent work.

Outstanding work! I know how hard that is to pull off, kinda. I've tried it but have not been successful.
