Knife for a Childhood Friend

[RyanW]

I recently was contacted by a friend from my High School days. He saw that I was making knives and asked for something unique, he gave me free reign. He works in the Tech world So first thing that came to mind was Carbon Fiber handle and W2.

Specs: O'Brien Knife
Steel: 3/16" Aldo W2
OAL: 10.25"
Blade: 5.25"
Handle: Carbon Fiber and Silver Twill
Misc: Tapered Tang, Mosaic pins, G10 Liners
Sheath: Shark Skin (Right Hand)

I am really excited to present it to him. I would love to hear your comments.

That looks remarkable Mr W.

Cracking lines and a very cool blend of materials, both knife and sheath. The hamon on the blade is the icing on the cake.

Sterling stuff.

[Mack]

That is one beautiful workhorse.
How do you like the W2? I have heard that it's similar to 52100 and I absolutely love 52100.
