This is one I forged out of Hanson's W2. I hand sanded the blade to 1000 grit then etched to bring out the details of the hamon from the clay quench.
The handle is really nice desert ironwood. It is held in place with G-flex epoxy and pins that have been slightly peened, just enough to keep them in place. I actually fileworked the spine, something I have not done in a while. The handle is faceted and shaped to fit well in the hand. It has been polished to a nice luster.
The sheath is 7-8oz hand tooled leather from Wickett and Craig. It holds the knife securely and allows for an easy draw.
Dimensions
Blade - 3 3/4" tip to handle
OAL - 9"
Price - sold shipped to US. I will ship internationally for an additional fee.
I have this posted elsewhere, so the first timestamp saying "I'll take it!" gets it.
