A while back I started a thread asking about making a sword, this is my first attempt. I'm trying for my own spin on a traditional wakizashi.

I cut the profile over the last couple of days and today I started grinding. It is very rough right now, I had to take a break.

This was 18" of .262 5160 Steel stock for a size reference.

Comments are welcome and appreciated. :D

profiled out... bad pic but I added this for it to be a more complete WIP.

Looks good so far.

I've got a few waki I need to grind sometime next week.
