A few recent blades
My first kukri. 1075 with hollow ground ricasso and flat bevels. Curly Koa, faux ivory and faux tortise shell



VEGA is 1095/15N20 damascus w/G-10



Persian in 52100 w/Kirinite



Field Mate in W-2 w/giraffe bone and G-10 liners



First hidden tang VEGA done with Ed Fowler in mind. 52100 HTd according to his recipe. Handle is stabilized ancient Kauri (my favorite wood)
The block of Koa that it's sitting on is the exact piece I used to make the handle for the kukri at the top of the list. It was hand delivered by a friend who was on vacation in Hawaii.
