I have been getting a lot of feedback about my knives. Most of it goes something like this..."if it were a shorter hunting knife, I would be all over it!" I was planning on taking this one to the show this weekend, but decided to let it go here.
This one is W2, which has been clay quenched for a nice and bold hamon. The spine is fileworked and the flats have been left with the forge scale on them. It was hand sanded to 1500 grit and etched to bring out the hamon. I took several pictures in order to capture the hamon, which can be tricky to catch with a camera.
The handle is Bocote. It is held in place with several pins, including one mosaic along with acraglas. It is quite comfortable in the hand. My hands are decent size and I have no problems with this knife.
The sheath is 8-9oz hand stitched and hand tooled leather from Wickett and Craig. The knife fits snugly, and draws easily.
Dimensions
Blade - Just a tick under 4"
OAL - 8 1/2"
Price - $200 shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.
The first to post here "I'll take it!" gets it.
Different lighting to catch the hamon
