Quite nice.
In the last, vertical side view pic. I've never seen a tsuka with that shape/knob on the omote side before, is that purposely done in the tsuka shaping or is it a quirk of that particular samegawa? In any case I think it would improve the palm grip. Very interesting.

also here islandblacksmith.ca/process/carving-tsuka-handle/ the dip accommodates the end knot and the bulge prones the nodes should you later put a tsukamaki on it as far as I understand

Nice work. Blade looks similar to a Dynasty Forge Musha Shobu imo. Looking forward to seeing finished package.

Ooh, that's a good looking shobu. I like the blade a lot. Rest of the sword is nice, too.

Looks great. I like Shobu blades (don’t have one yet) even without a Hamon. Also kind of like the lack of ito. I’ve seen that on some tantos but not a lot of katanas.

Seeing a nice looking shobu zukuri is always a treat. Really like how this one came together. Enjoy!
