This is completely different than my norm... but I love stuff like this. I take this one out of the drawer every now and again and think about how much I want to finish it.... but it keeps going back in the drawer so I'm selling it--- Hopefully somebody else can make it shine :)

SOLD paypal received! :)Forged W1 8-7/8" OAL (4-1/4" blade) X 1-1/8" wide X 0.230" blade/0.340" thick textured handle. My idea for this would be to clay harden it, and then have only about half of the blade sanded and polished out to show the hamon. Then polish out the perimeter of the handle/spine to a mirror polish. I think it would be cool :) This is one of those blades that you simply cannot create with any method other than forging. :) $45+shipping

*** this blade is annealed and ready to grind/file/sand and then harden/temper... but it's up for sale as a soft blade.

PS Was the handle texture done with a welder?
