This is a second due to the hamon not coming out as intended, which I confirmed with Jonas, hence no makers mark. Also this has some very light scratches, but I was unable to pick them up on camera (streaks are from just whipping it down before pics). If it doesn't sell, perhaps I'll pester KasumiJLA to see if he wants to work some magic, not that I think it needs much being near mirror polish.

Since picking this up, I've picked up another Isasmedjan integral and have a custom in the works. I love this work and it's a well balanced knife (see picture), but personally the fully forged full tang along with the ironwood make it feel handle heavy in spite of the balance point. Being someone that favors wa handles to begin with, I never gelled with it, so
I figure I should let someone else enjoy it.

For full disclosure, I'll be posting several more knives now that I've tracked down my damn calipers, so priorities will go to those who bundle (this guy hates packaging). Please feel free to message me with any questions.

Sorry, no more natural light means the spine and choil shots were tougher to get good detail on. The distal taper is pretty wicked:
