Latest custom commission : Japanese influenced folding knife, handforged

Single bevel blade with hand-forged ura. Handle in custom linden wood with 8 layers of urushi lacquer.
The ‘’warrior’’ finish was done hot. I rarely do this finish : it always hurts a little to intentionally rough up a blade. I've turned down several projects asking for it. This time, for this particular build, I said yes.
Sometimes the client's vision wins.
