Hi gang,
Here’s a real special knife today I’m offering for sale.

This was hand forged from a round piece of Don Hanson III’s amazing w2 that I purchased a while ago.

This drop point is just under 1/8” at the spine, .115 to be exact
OAL: 8”
Cutting edge: 3.5”

Vintage Westinghouse green micarta handle with red g10 liners.
Carbon fiber pins.

The blade has a very active hamon
and a full distal taper.

This knife will come with a black kydex sheath.

Feel free to ask any questions.

Price is $200

You got some skillz Josh! I have one of your blades in w2 and the hamon is beautiful. The blade literally sings when dragged across my pant leg. This one is just as nice and now you are forging them to boot! Whoever gets this will be extremely happy for sure!!!

Thanks man! I'm really glad to hear you are happy with your knife. And thanks for the compliment on the hamon, I've been experimenting alot and have had tons of help from some great knifemakers.
