The Kami has a tapered spine , file worked, and file worked brass liners under giraffe bone scales.
The other has file worked spine , sculpted blade and satinwood scales.

I've since bought a Beaumont 2 x72 and an Evenheat kiln. Hopefully I'll be able to turn out something a bit more respectable looking once I can find the time ,. But these do the job all the same.
If you don't mind me asking how did you sculpt the blade.
