Hey folks- I wasn't kidding when I said I had two drawers full! 
All of the blades in these threads are ones I'd LIKE to finish... but like to, and REALISTICALLY have time to, are not the same thing in my shop! LOL
#1. Sold pf
1095 clay coated and water quenched 7" blade X 1-1/4" wide X 0.212" at the ricasso. This one is ready to finish grind and polish. The hamon isn't jagged, but it has a lot of funky little activity in it---if one had the desire to polish it. The tang is kind'a short, but it won't be an issue. $50+shipping
I drew where the hamon is with a marker, I simply couldn't get it to show up in my photos, but in the right light I can see it plain as day even at 60grit.
#2. Sold and shipped 1084 clay coated and Park #50 quenched. 8-1/8" blade X 1-1/8" X 0.212" at ricasso. Hamon is a roller coaster, but not a lot of whispy stuff. I forged this out when I was really into recurves (in case you missed it 
LOL) There's still some hammer marks left, but they will come out so long as you grind them out $45+shipping
Marker trick again
#3. Sold pf Still pretty rough 1084 hunter, surface ground flats 3-1/2" blade X 1" wide X 0.184" at the ricasso $10 +shipping
#4. Sold pf 52100 BIG F'n KNIFE 12" blade X 2-3/16" wide X 0.290" at ricasso forged down from 1-3/4" 52100 vacuum melt roundstock (not from recycled anything). Ready to harden and temper... this thing is GINORMOUS!!! $75+shipping
#5. Sold and shipped W1 8" blade X 1-3/8" wide X 0.218" at ricasso. Clay coated and quenched in Park #50. This hamon is pretty active and will really shine with some TLC. Blade is ready to finish grind and polish. The tang is a bit funky on this one, so I'll sell it cheap $55+shipping
#6. sold and shipped 1084 (forged from large hex stock by hand at a demo) 7-3/4" overall length (3-1/8" blade) X 7/8" wide X 0.176" at ricasso.... Hardened and ready to finish grind (has a tapered tang, but ricasso is parallel so you can clamp down on the ricasso to drill the handle scales and such. $25+shipping
