Hey everyone! I happy to present my newest blade. This one is my longest sword to date (new longer kiln!!). The sword features a wide 22" long CPM 3v blade with my high performance ht and Cryo.
The deep fuller and flat grind lend to a balance point only 2" in front of the tsuba/guard.
It has an 11" handle wrapped in gorgeous indigo tsuka ito soaked in west system epoxy making it strong and durable but with a natural look and feel. The tsuba and menuki are both heat anodized titanium which compliment the wrap nicely

The saya is just as solid as the sword being hand laid carbon fiber over a tero tuf core. The kurigata is black polished G10. A nice strong alternative to buffalo horn.

Thanks for looking!!










 
For a sense of scale, the sword in the talented hands of its maker.

Got too hold this a bit at Blade Show West, it was quite light for its size. Loved it!
