Welcome to a new knifemaking challenge with a samurai theme! For this one, I've chosen to make two kama, traditional Japanese farming tools that also doubled as weapons.
Given the limited time I had to work on them, my design is simple and straightforward. However, I'm pleased with the final results. I find the charred wood aesthetic fascinating, and the mirror finish on the blades is satisfying.
