Finishing this one up for a friend. I have always liked the profile of the Japanese knives / swords but dislike the handle materials.
I have made a four way book match of the Bocote and Osage on the sheath and handle. Working on a carry sheath. This one could prove pretty handy for a variety of tasks.

As a fellow knifemaker that is outstanding!!!!
