12th knife just finished for Ashokan

[Mike Davis]

Hi guys, just got this one finished last night and i wanted to share. This one was forged and rough shaped by Nick Wheeler.
This is my first attempt at a hamon, i love it...turned out very crisp. Not too bad for my 12th knife i think, I am rather proud!

Blade:W-2 clay coated
Blade Length: 9 inches
Handle: "Mutant" Redwood Pin Burl
Handle Length: 6 inches
Guard: 1018 with black/copper/black spacers

Feels really good in hand. Comfy, light and fast.

Let me know what you guys think!

Thanks
Mike
