hi Riad, yes it is forged flat on 1 side, beveled on the other, is also ground that way. It is basically forged to exact shape with very little grinding... matter of fact most of the pitting etc. is still on the flat side (as seen in the pics). Oh yeah, leather sheath.
 
Cool knife, Matt. Do you heat treat the 1095 any differently than you do your W2 blades?
 
thanks all,
Joe, i pretty much heat treat W2 and 1095 about the same, they do however react to clay thickness a bit differently. Ive learned that oil temp is as important as about anything else in getting the line to do what you want, especially with 1095.
