Hello .
I would like to share this one i made a few months back .When making this i decided to use ideas from around the world .The T back spine shape from the kybre style blades for there strength and piercing power .

Habaki and gaurds in the japanese style , And european style handle for its handling ability one handed.

The blade is 01 , habaki is copper , sepa brass and guard is stirling silver , handle is african ivory with twisted brass wire wrap ,the heads on the end of handle and sheath are repoussed chased and engraved from brass sheet .The sheath is made from winchester wood Thank you .
Chris

Chris, Now that is a real beauty. I can appreciate the amount of work that must have gone into making that knife and sheath. The workmanship is absolutely fantastic. Great job.
