Just finishing up on this one.
1095
Spalted maple (stabilized)
Bolsters are amber stag (left overs from another job)
Pins are bronze
Tang is tapered
Red liners
OAL 8 3/4 inches
And a pretty good hamon
Thanks for looking.
Looks real good Greg. I like what you did with the handle and the blade shape is nice. The knife looks comfortable and balanced with the tapered tand. Nice hamon too. Great job.
