Blade was forged from 1095 bar.
It is differential heat treated, and etched in lemon acid to reveal nice hamon.
I tried to achieve aged look of the blade. Bevels are hand polished with 2500 grit and flats are left "brute de forge". Guard is forged and polished with visible hammer marks, but feels smooth in the hand.
Nice piece of stabilized and dyed black poplar burl is used for the handle.
Black G10 is used for liners, and brass for pins. Pins and lanyard tube are hammered.
Details:
Overall length - 9,7"
Blade length - 5"
Blade width - 2" at the widest part
Thickness at the back of the spine - 1/8"
Tang is tapered to 3/64"
Knife itself weights 7,27 oz, and with sheath is 12,17 oz
Handmade 4mm thick (0,16") two tone vegetable leather sheath, made for right hand vertical carry.
Asking $160, priority shipping with tracking number included
