    Looks like something I had to do recently after the buffing wheel caught the blade, It worked out well though, I think I will rescale it and offer it up on the classifieds.

    Not bad! Almost japanese style!
    Why not just cover the tang with a nice cord?

    I was thinking that too Olivia.

    Well then maybe a simple wood on the scales, to sort of mock the Japan style?

    Maybe Cherry? As that is big over there?

    Just my thoughts,
    Ken.

    Artfully done! Looks almost like the blade was designed that way.
