Excellent WIP/photoes. Thanks for taking the time.
Understand the concerns of others re blade to handle ratio, but it doesnt bother me; the knife looks like simplicity itself, but the final result is achieved through and demonstrated by the WIP. Making a knife look simple, clean and elegant is clearly no mean feat. It takes a complex process to ahieve the desired (seemingly simple)result. Less is as always more.
Great hue on the habaki.

Its probably my favorite part of the knife. Looks vastly different depending on the lighting.
Here's one shot of it showing a red clay type coloration:
