52100. 62RC. 10" on the edge, so about 270mm from machi to tip. Weight (with handle) and final measurements will be coming soon - I still need to to a little grinding and hand finishing. I come to think geometry-wise, it will look very much like Mario's Carter when it is finished. Maybe a notch thicker, but that is how I like it.
This one I am going to keep (I suspect once I start making knvies for sale, I won't have time to make myself a knife), but there is another blade in works that I will send for a testing to a member here and if the response is positive and the knife doesn't need any changes, I will pass it around.
Any suggestion for a handle? Octagonal or Meiji-like D?
PS: There is no dip on the edge, as it appears in the second picture. Optical illusion. I use a granite plate to check a curve on the edge and to look for any low spots.
