Gentlemen,
I've just finished this one up in time for you to treat yourself to an early Christmas present
It's W2 steel that has some of the best hamon action that I've been able to produce. The handle is beautiful K&G stabilized Eucalyptus Burl. The blade is 0.098" stock so it is a slicer not a camp knife. It's heat treated with thermal cycling for grain refinement with a resulting hardness of RC62. I'll make a pouch style leather sheath for it.
SPECS:
OAL: 10.5"
BLADE: 5" long, 1.625" wide. It has been hand sanded to 1000 grit and then etched in FeCl and then polished to bring out a vivid hamon. The grind is compound full flat/convex. the edge is down to 0.010" before sharpening. The swedge is unsharpened and the spine and choil are rounded for comfort.
STEEL: 0.098" W2 steel heat treated to RC62 including thermal cycling for grain refinement.
HANDLE: K&G Stabilized Eucalyptus Burl with black micarta liners and pins.
SHEATH: Pouch style leather included.
Price: $SOLD Shipped CONUS
international buyers welcome, shipping extra.
Paypal, checks or money orders accepted.
Post "I'll take it" here in this thread and then PM or email me for arrangements.
Comments/Questions/Critiques welcome.
Thanks for looking!
