Handle: African Blackwood with blue micarta spacer.

Weight: 6.3oz (178g)
Price: $290 USD plus shipping
This is a very light and nimble knife for it's size, with the balance right at the maker's mark. As always, it features a rounded spine and choil area for comfort. The blade is very thin, with a slightly convex grind. The blade is really more of a dark gray than a black, but it pairs really well with the handle I think.
I recently made a knife with a cocobolo handle in the same shape and my wife loved it so much that she insisted that I didn't sell it so she could use it! We've both been enjoying using it for the past few weeks, so I thought I'd make a few more with the same design.

This is my first bunka, and I really like it! I
