Tried my hand at a Japanese style knife

1084 knife steel 1/8th thick and Clay Hamon line and cocobolo handle scales. The pictures do not do it justice but I think it came out well.

Nice knife!     What did you have in mind for its primary use?

[sgtmcboom]

Well I modeled it after a Seppuku or "Hari Kari" knife ritual suicide knife. So I have absolutely no use for it besides perhaps a self defense weapon to have in the house.

Looked like a pretty good kitchen knife to me.

to me it looks a lot more like a Finnish knife than Japanese. In the second pic i can make out your hamon line..pretty good job

That's exactly what I thought it looked like, which prompted me to wonder about your state of mind at present.......hang in there, Sgt.!       We're all in this together!

All I am seeing is the photobucket nag screen.

I saw it earlier but now it is the photobucket screen on mine too.

Looks nice.  It must have been a momentary glitch with PB.
