Hi all,
I've been wanting to finish up one in Hitachi Blue #2 for a while now. It was heat treated by Peter's HT to RC63. This one is chisel ground down to near zero before sharpening. The flats on the chisel side were left rough with heat treat scale for effect. The bevels are hand sanded to 600 grit. The handle is Asian Satinwood Burl with an African Blackwood bolster. The spacers are copper and black paper micarta. The pin is 3/32" black micarta.
SPECS:
OAL: 350mm (13.75")
BLADE: 205mm (8") long, 45mm (1.7") heel height. Right handed chisel grind down to near zero before sharpening. The one flat is left rough with heat treat scale for effect. Hand sanded to 600 grit.
STEEL: 0.12" Hitachi Blue #2, heat treated by Peter's to RC63.
HANDLE: Asian Satinwood Burl with African Blackwood bolsters. Spacers are copper and black paper micarta and 3/32" black micarta pin.
$325 Shipped CONUS international buyers welcome shipping extra.
Paypal, checks and money orders accepted.
Post "I'll take it" here in this thread and then email or PM me to make arrangements.
