I just got in this beautiful professionally stabilized Koa and Maple from A.C. Richards! I'm also profiling some of Aldo's W2 which will be clay coated and water quenched for hamon.

2 Kwaiken fixed blades... a TJT Framelock blade and 2 Kiridashi all in water quenching W2 tool Steel. This steel reaches high RC and really performs. W2 also arguably has the best hamon potential of any steel.

TJT with Hamon? Highly desirable! That's also some very pretty Koa! You know what you're doing for sure, D.
 
I'm ready for Koa to make a come back, a few years back it seemed like everyone was using it on every type of knife. But, it's so pretty it's time to brink it back!
