Couple of Christmas presents;
My take on a Wakizashi; W2 with hamon line, blued steel tsuba, jute micarta handle and stainless steel pins with poplar scabbard. blade lenght is 22.5 inches with OAL arould 37" and weights in at 2 pounds 4 ounces. The handle is not epoxied. Drop the pins out and it all comes apart. Locks up solid with no rattle had to add a paper spacer between the handle and tsuba becuase over the last few weeks something shrunk about the width of a human hair and slightly loosend the lockup.
Nakiri in Magnacut with jute micarta handle and copper pins
Makers mark etched with an xtools F1, 2 passes each IR and blue laser about 90%
