I think you'll need a longer handle. Maybe 2.5 or 2 times longer. It will balance much better in general and make use easier.
My double Res-C idea is pretty cool, but I still think the handle needs to be longer to balance the knife.

No, no, no I don't think you screwed up. With a design like, on a smaller scale, it would make a pretty darn good wakizashi. The straight Res-C might also cut down on cost as well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> But the double might have some interesting virtues that I don't know of.

Heheh, true. I'll draw a better picture tonight of what my ideal SY sword would look like.

Very cool Simon. A stump in your living room makes perfect sense to us!
