Wow! Can't say I've seen one of these before...

Handle in particular is much larger than the standard Takeda hunters. Recently got a custom from Colton Arias at Bridger Forge so that's my main knife for deer at the moment. Pity I never got to use this Takeda but I know someone will out it through its paces.
 
I'd give Pie's left nut for the knife in a minute. Would it be poetic if said knife were used to extract said knut?

In all seriousness, I have two Japanese hunting knives and they are wonderful pieces of steel. I wish my disposable income wasn't all accounted for now.
 
Ahhh so the knife is to be sent first!

I really wish I had a solid use for something like this. Living in the suburbs it’d sit on the wall most of its life :(.
 
This is an heirloom! Wish I could buy it myself. Always thought it was cool that you could buy his hunter knives without handles in order to make amazing creations like this.

Someone ought to buy this thing…

Really tempted to keep it but there's other stuff I could use the funds for and I know I wouldn't use it after getting in this Hunter from Bridger Forge. 52100 and stabilized Brain coral scales

Yeah so many design options, I really like the full size handle on this thing too, so many smaller blades come with tiny handles that you just can't get good purchase on. The figure on that Amboyna is insane IRL too
