Finally getting the lines i want on W2. Have to apply the clay a bit differently, alter the soak temp. a bit, and be sure your quinch oil is at optimum temp. for "speed". Anyhow, here is one that I made this week after a quick polish. Sorry about the photography skills, there is more activity there but I just cant capture it in the photo.

Started out as a piece of 3.5" x 1.25" piece of W2 round bar from Don Hanson. Blade deminsions are 10-3/4" x 2" x 1/4"+ at ricasso.

Killer line, Matt. One of the best I've seen :thumbup:

W2 is a different animal but has the best hamon potential of any steel out there.

Thats just breathtaking!!

Wow!!
 
thanks all!! Roger, this one is getting Curly Maple or Walnut... but I do still have that stag carver set aside for you... Will probably something with a bit longer clip for that one.
 
Well, I feel safe in predicting that someone will be VERY happy with that one. :)

By George, I think he's got it! The W2 is workin' well it seems, Matt. Great looking blade. Smokin' hamon! :thumbup:

Wow!!! That is amazing. Now the bad news. You have to tell us HOW you applied the clay to get that line:D
