Odin's Edge hybrid folding "Bamboosori"

This one is a bit of a hybrid for me - my Odin's Edge design but with "bamboosori" or bamboo file work turned into a western folder. In the past have only done bamboo filework on non-folders and kamisori.

13/16 forged suminagashi Hitachi white core
Half hollow grind
Extended monkey tail with 2.6" long blade and french point

Stabilized blue/purple dyed curly maples scales.

Thanks for looking!

That is absolutely beautiful!

Stunning blade. I thought that the lines in the blade were reflection until I looked closer and they were in every picture. Then I thought you had a decent Hamon line but now I see that it isn't. I am impressed.

Very creative and superbly executed. Thanks for sharing!

Once again, another work of art!

I love the complexity of the forging. That blade is simply unbelievable! A kamisori with purple scales that are stunning as well. How could you not fall in love with this razor!! This is truly a work of art!
