New Short Sword Fresh Off The Bench

Hi guys,

This is a 16.75" forged 1075 blade with a 3/16's spine and a 9.5" wrapped handle over a walnut core. It's a bit of a fusion blade, thus the hapoon tipped blade with Japan-esy furniture. It's a compact, nimble sword, weighing 2.25lbs and balancing approx. 4" in front of the guard. It's razor sharp, and a fine chopper. I welcome your comments, thanks.

Very nice work David!!! I really like the raw elegance of the blade design & finish,very very nice.I am a fan.Thanks for sharing it with us.
 
Very unique and cool! The grind and texture are great and I really like it.
Also I think you invented a cool new word too!
Japan-esy! LOL
 
Nice work ! I like the longer handles on the short sword myself . I think it gives a multi grip and helps with balance . She's a beauty !!
