First blade, a kiridashi!

http://imgur.com/a/Ei59y album for more. Handle looks poor, but it adds much needs support for working with the blade and I learned a thing or two about setting brass pins!

The contrast between the rough handle and the polished blade works well together.

Nice execution on the bevel grind for your first! I'm curious how well it handles or if it tends to slide out of your hand during use...

That handle looks slightly painful, but I dig it. Looks badass
