Here is some of Don Hanson's W2, forged into a recurve blade. It is ground on a rotary platen for a slight convex grind. It has been clay coated for a nice hamon. (I personally think it is the best hamon I have managed to pull out of W2 so far).

The handle is some nicely figured cocobolo. It is held in place with pins and G-flex epoxy.

The sheath is 7-8oz hand tooled leather from Wickett and Craig. The knife draws with a tug and is held securely.

Dimensions
Blade - 4 1/2" tip to handle
OAL - 9 1/2"

Price - $240 shipped to US

I have this posted elsewhere, so the first timestamp to say "I'll take it!" gets it.









 
Thank you, it is a beautiful work of art, can't wait to play with it. plan to build a leather quiver and have a sheath on it for this knife. i'll send you a picture when its all done.
