I love that Sappling slayer! How does it feel in the hand? The hamon and finish came out great. Very busy but pretty grain for that ironwood. Overall a winner! Any idea on the weight?
 
Those are a BUNCH of good looking, hard working knives. My favorite may be the Blackwood/ Copper W-2.... pure knife.

it's good to see you recognizing the value in your design talent by providing a production line of knives using your designs. That's a very fine idea. I wish you the best of luck in that venture!:thumbup:
 
Wow - that first one is a gorgeous beast. Wickedly aggressive blade shape and an awesome hamon.

The production line looks real good too. I particularly like the first guardless number.
