This ones coming with me to Blade.

Specs
W2, BL 9", 230mm. OAL 14 1/2", 370mm
Parkerised mild steel guard, Stabilised Coolibah Burl handle, domed pin.
Super light and very fast in the hand.
Thanks for looking and comments welcome.
Cheers Keith



 
I like the almost sub hilt inclination of this fighter. It's got a great blade shape and I like the subtle S shape of the guard. Great job on it.

Does the blade have a slight recurve or it just my eyes and the steep clip?
 
oooooo...me likey!
 
Keith, I greatly prefer this piece to the one you posted recently with radically curved blade spine.
I like the sleek/fast looking blade profile, and the ergonomically contoured handle. The guard shape
and finish creates a beautiful transition from blade to handle.
A fine fighter from both aesthetic and functional perspectives. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
 
Love it Keith. Great design. Everything works on that one. I look forward to seeing it in a few weeks.

Classy & scary at the same time.
I like the 'subhiltish' guard-to-handle transition (if that makes any sense!)...
 
Absolutely smoking' hamon there Keith, I love it! And that burl is stunning. Looks like it would be lively in the hand too - nice!

^^^ My thoughts too. That long, lean blade looks sleek and aggressive. Nice work.

Thanks mate. Now I know I do a lot of recurve style blades ( cant help myself ) but this one is straight.

Thank you Kevin and John for your kind words. Love the feedback that I get here.

Great looking fighter! It looks fast in hand without picking it up...that is a good sign. :eek: The wood is beautiful. Well done!

Saw it in ABF gallery :)
Sleek n nice with matching color of handle material, bolster and the grayish hamon area :thumbup:
I like the finger groove that looks like a sub hilt as well :thumbup:
Thanks for showing :)
