Steel: W2, forged. 600 grit handrubbed finish

Hardness: 60-61 RC

Blade length: 7-7/8"

Total length: 12-3/8"

Blade thickness: about 1/4"

Handle material: Arizona desert ironwood

Fittings: Stainless guard, spacers, pins, and thong tube. The dark spacers are brown micarta.

Price:

I can take paypal, check, or MO. Please send paypal to 2000pjp at gmail dot com
If using a check, allow 5 business days for it to clear before shipment. Please make sure knife is still available before sending payment. :)

Sheath is dark brown leather.

Full disclosure: this knife was made for someone. They returned it because they didn't like the "white splotches all over the blade". I tried to explain about W2, shallow hardening steels, pearlite, and natural hamons, but they weren't having any of it, which is fine.
So, if white splotches on the blade bother you too, do NOT buy this knife. I tried to get a picture of it, but it's hard... You can see it a little in the last shot, on the ricasso.

This is the third or fourth time I am looking at this and I do not see any “white splotches”. What am I doing wrong?

Nothing! It's really hard to see unless the light is shining on it just right. I only mention it because it was the reason it was returned to me; I don't consider it a flaw...
