Hello,
this is my first attempt on a japanese style knife, a prototpe. Made from ATI425 Titanium (heat treated by Mecha ), this blade is thin and flexible. Stabs just great with both edges sharpened.
OAL is 12" with a 7" blade, Tsuba is Herringbone Titanium Damascus and 6AL4V, handle is a cream colored wrap over blue stab. buckeye burl. Weight is 4 oz., balance point is about .75" behind the Tsuba.
