Here is a 1095 with a nice hamon. It has been clay quenched and etched, and the hamon really pops. I tried to take decent pictures of it, but photographing a hamon is tricky.

The blade is forged from 1/4" 1095 and has filework and a tapered tang.

The handle is stabilized curly maple. It looks nice and actually has a little burl on it. It also has a black linen micarta bolster.

The sheath is 8-9oz leather, that is hand stitched and tooled. The knife fits snugly, and draws easily.

There is an in the hand shot, but here are the dimensions anyways,

Blade - 4 1/2" tip to handle
OAL - 9 1/2"

Price - $195 shipped. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order

The first to post here "I'll take it!" gets it.
