Full size kwaiken {Black & White}

[Benr.t]

I just finished up this order and I thought I would share. It is my full size, 11" OAL kwaiken.
The blade on this one is 3/16" 1095, with a polished hamon. The handle is black tsuka ito over black stingray.
The sheath is done with a custom stamp that I made to imitate snake scales.
Anyway, let me know what you think and thanks for looking!!

Ben,
The blade and sheath look fine. It's really hard to see all of the definition with that backdrop. I understand the B&W theme, but that kind of pattern tends to cross hatch when viewed. It draws my attention away from the knife. I would try some more pics with a different back drop.

Just trying to help.

The knife and sheath look great, Ben! But I have to agree with Laurence about the background.

And what in the heck is going on in this shot. Check out the spine of the knife!!

Nice work on the knife. Outstanding work on the sheath. Nicely done all around.

ps Keep the photography simple - go outside.
