Another subhilt going to Little Rock. Actually Lin and I were discussing what we were planning for the show and it turned out we were both doing a subhilt, and using the same materials. Ironwood, 416 stainless, and some of Don's W-2. So here we are. A different interpretation in more of a southwest style with a pronounced hamon of course. Let me know what you all think.

I like that one a LOT. The materials really work together and I love the hamon on there.

I'm with Joe. The blade shape really does it for me. :thumbup:Great job Brion. Lin
 
That blade does look great. Strictly judging from the picture (which can lead to wrong impressions) the "sub" hilt seems to be spaced a bit far from the primary guard. Of course someone with large hands would NEED it that way:D

Nice hamon too.

Very Nice work Brion, looks like there's going to be some super knives present, I'm looking forward to seeing this one up close also. :thumbup:

Thank you all for the comments and Peter I am going to take your comment into consideration on the next subhilt. I was wondering about that also, but when you hold the knife it feels good. It is only a week or so away and I am really looking forward to it.
Thanks again.

Brion - If it feels good in hand that is what counts:D You make awesome knives.
