Finished wedding gift

[Chris Railey]

My nephew is getting married this weekend and I made this for his gift. It is 3/32 1095 Japanese Nakiri with a western handle. The saya is made with basswood. The handle is Curly Maple dovetail bolster and Wenge. You know I had to do a hamon as well. I finished it off with KG-Gun Kote.

That is a beautiful piece. I'm pretty sure he and his new wife will be proud to receive it. Great job !

Good job. The gun kote will finish it of nicely.

Very beautiful. I love the proportions. Those handle materials work very well together.

Thanks for the comments. I really had no idea how to make the pin for the saya but it turns out that if you chuck a wood dowell in your drill press and use a rasp, files and sandpaper its the easiest part of the project.
