Picked up quite a nice of samegawa for a long term project.

Got a fairly decent same skin today - although it will need to be cut carefully to make the large nodules fall in a straight line. It's for a koshirae I intend to have made at some point for a shinsaku tanto I own. I've also included photos of the blade itself plus the modern sterling silver menuki and shitodome I intend to use.
