Blew my learning curve on a custom sword set!

Just wow bud! Just wow! I earned my Black Belt in Kobujitsu ( weapons fighting ) when I was 19. I don't think I have ever even held a Katana that even looked anywhere near that beautiful. Excellent work! I would have loved to owned that for a display piece back then.
 
So, I accepted the request to make these when I was about 18mos into the hobby… I was pretty overwhelmed with even the thought of the project! They took me about six months to complete as I would start and stop a LOT!
Finally got them done and delivered yesterday!
Wakizashi and Tanto set with low layer count ladder pattern Damascus San mai , brass fittings, and curly maple handles and sayas with cocobolo accents.
They are “Japanese Inspired” but non traditional construction and they were both fun and challenging!:shocked::doh: (Mainly carving highly figured maple for the sayas!)
My biggest project to date!View attachment 4144331View attachment 4144332View attachment 4144333View attachment 4144334View attachment 4144335
