What a monster, love it.
But too big for me to handle it.

It was the challenge that drove me to make it. I've been toying with the idea of making a big Maguro Bocho.

Thank you for the compliments. I am finishing up knives I've had in different stages of completion. I recently injured my shoulder at my dayjob and have been on the mend for several months now. All I can handle at the moment is the less laborous work like handles and saya. This means I cannot forge for a bit. A temporary setback, but something I've learned to deal with in different times of my life. I was born with fewer muscles in my right bicep, shoulder and chest. Which means an injury to one section of muscle is a bit more critical than the average construct. I'm hoping to avoid surgery and things have been looking pretty good in that department, so I may be spared.

It's really nice work from handle to tip. Love the details.
