Forged W5 and goldfield hunter/utility- repost

[Milan Mozolic]

Hello, I have for sale this knife.

The blade is forged from steel W5. Hardened to Hamon.

Flat grind with small convex edge. Much of lumber knife, I tried it on my finger

The handle is made of burl Goldfield. 416ss guard, bronze and fiber spacers.

Leather sheath is included in the price, but I make it a requirement by the buyer. Everyone prefers something else.

Handle lenght: 4,572"
Thickness: 0,176"

SOLD, Thanks !

I love the utility I bought from you, but I cannot for the life of me find out any info on W5 steel.

Info is here http://www.jkz.cz/en/products/tool-steel-11545

It is almost the same as W2

Thanks. I had seen the data sheet stuff, but there's not much about it re knife making. You're one of the few people using it it looks like.
