Well, I finally decided to finish this one. It's been sitting on the bench for a long time, as I've shown it's early progression posts. Didn't have a customer for this one, so there was never a push to finish it.

It's a 1075 blade differentially heat treated with a hamon, stabilized redwood burl handle and 416SS guard and pin.

Quite different from my usual knives, but I think I like it.

I will post pictures when I get a chance to take them.

Didn't realize that a notification coming in on my phone was that noticeable!

There are pluses and minuses for sure. It's mostly just an aesthetic addition. Claying the blade results in a martensitic edge, with a pearlite spine. It's actually a lot of work to get the blade to that finish to really highlight the hamon, and it scratches really easily. However, it does look pretty cool.
