This blade has been waiting for its handle so long. I forged a kind of scandi from 19191 steel (C105W1 DIN). This steel takes spontaneous hamon. Unfortunately, it snapped after HT. So there is a wharnie born out of rest of it. Edge is 7 cm from bolster to tip. OAL is 17,5 cm.
Fittings are copper. Bolster is tapered a bit for better contours. Ebony handle.
I somehow borrowed Mik's grooves (thanks mate

)
Those grooves are there on purpose. They give me a feeling where the handle ends as there is no guard and it would be very easy to slip a finger over the blade edge.

Almost a Japanese style.

You knew i was going to love this one didn't you Karel

Dark handle, short blade, grooves and a simple shape that flows with the blade.

Just what i like.......lovely mate. It will look marvellous in a simple black sheath to match.

Actually, i think i need to send you a black 'star sapphire' cabochon to set in the sheath to add just a little accent.

Pm me if it sounds interesting to you. Stone is on me if you want to try it

Thank you guys for nice words.

Mik, as I said earlier, you influenced me with your grooves. I PM'd you. But another PM may follow.

Cheers, guys.

Beautiful little user, Karel!

Short blade and long handle will make it a pretty good carver!
The simplicity on a first glance and the love for little details on a second look show your sence for artistic function or functionell art!
