From drawing in the morning to reality in the evening, i have been wanting to make this shape for awhile now. Forged from 1095, it's got a hamon I need to bring out but I saw it after hardening, very nice and straight and looks real good. I call it maybe, Hari Sasu, for needle stab LOL. Tapers from where the handle meets the blade, thickest is 9/32", 11 1/4" overall, 4 3/8" handle 6 3/4" blade, 1 5/8" wide at the base of the blade.

Very pointy indeed... Is it intended to be a side carry utility knife or is it going to live in a kitchen?

Whatever you are, be a good one.

thanks Larry, side carry, it's way too thick for kitchen work at 5/16".
