Hi Guys-
I forged out a bunch of blades in January when I had to forge going to warm up the shop... Now, I have too many of them laying around.
This first one was forged from W2 and has a nice, no-clay hamon in it. It's finish ground as far as the geometry goes, but it's rough. It could either be sharpened and used, or finished out with a lot of elbow grease.
OAL- about 14"
Blade- ~9-3/4"L x 1-1/2"W x 1/4" thick
-SOLD- Thanks Mike!
These other 3 are all pretty much as-forged (1084), with just the profiles cleaned up. I left them thicker than I normally do, because a really thin forged blade can be a bit overwhelming for someone not familiar with them. These are all spheroidally annealed, so they are very soft and easy to work with files or a grinder...so you can shape them however you wish.
Top to bottom:
#2- OAL- 10-1/2"
Blade- 6-3/8"L x 1-1/4"W x 1/4" thick
$60 shipped in the states
#3- OAL- 10-5/8"
Blade- 6-7/8"L x 1-1/4"W x 1/4" thick
$60 shipped in the states
#4- OAL- 8-7/8"
Blade- 5-1/4"L x 1-7/16"W x 1/4" thick
$55 shipped in the states
