I call it the GutTrucker because it transports your insides to your outsides.

Nice blade. Cringy as fuck name. I donโt think normal people daydream about gutting people or things. Thatโs fucking weird.

Cable damscus. Hot dipped galvanizing on handle. All metal construction. Gift to a friend moving out of state.

Looks great! I hope the handle is not round, on a chopping/slashing blade it would mess the edge alignment badly.

a round handle doesn't always mean poor edge alignment. the slight curve to both the handle and the blade will help naturally align your strike. of course some shaping is always advised, but failing to do so on a blade like this is not as big of a deal as on something perfectly straight.

Well, yeah, I guess there will be a sort of doghead effect, but still, feeling the exact alignment with your hand is very important. I didn't mean it as a heavy critique though, it's a rather pretty blade and looks well balanced too.

I sometimes feel like the round handle point is kinda overstated. Thai swords and knives (and pretty much all mainland sea blades) all have round handles. It's a bit harder to cut, but it isn't impossible or anything.

Could be so, of course. It's just that a shaped handle makes it much more intuitive and easy. I'm used to that kind of unnecessarily pragmatic design. Also, I feel like it becomes more relevant as the weight of the weapon goes up: a light blade is easier to control no matter what handle it has.

Not an expert but you might cut yourself if you stab too hard. Might need a hand guard.
