Totally finished...

Using time, temp., geometry, and clay I was able to obtain a nice cloudy/whispy hamon with great activity. Hand polished guard lungs. Hand polished black linen micarta handle. The sheath is fully lined and tooled in the front, influenced by Paul Long, but was all hand stamped and hand stitched by me.

Sharpened clip, ground to zero. Blade geometry is ground thin and then convexed and feathered in.
