I was on vacation this week, so I did some more work on knife #5. I've got the guard and handles on, and I've made the wooden sheath. I've also put some stain and polyurethane sealer on the oak.

Now, I have to do a lot of polishing work to get off the glue and the scratches that were introduced while assembling the guard and handle. Then I'm going to wrap the handle "katana-style" (i.e., tsukamaki) and possibly put a decorative wrap or knot (sageo) on the sheath.
