Specs:
15" OAL
10" 1095 differentially clay hardened blade with active hamon
Nickel silver sculpted bolsters
Exhibition grade ironwood scales, bookmatched and offset for grain flow across spine.
Nickel Silver/Copper mosaic pin and Nickel silver thong hole
Gorgeous 14" custom Paul Long sheath
This knife feels great and balances very nicely. Blade was clay treated and has all kinds of action if viewed from the right angle, but I focused on the overall knife here. A below pic shows those subtle accents during construction prior to polish. The ironwood is amazing....best I have had. Bolsters were sculpted and flow nicely. I modified the spine to have positive forward grip, as I did with the handle shape.
Price: 425$ shipped. Papal Preferred.
