I shipped this one out today. It's kind of a prototype for a new design I'm going for. The next one will be refined a little bit.
It's 8.25 inches overall, forged 1084, and curly maple I stabilized myself. Feedback is much appreciated. Per some suggestions, I plan on making the ricasso a little taller on the next one, and probably going to cut the tang deeper and make it a little more like a guard and less like a bolster.
Thanks,
Nick
Nice work Nick. The blade shape reminds me of some of Dan Farr's work, which is a good thing if you ask me.

Very nice! Gotta love the purple and gold.
