Differentially hardened W-2 with temper line, aka "hamon", 7 1/2" blade, hollow ground, etched and hand satin finished, oal 12 9/16", stock thickness 7/32".

I nipped this pic from Mike's website:
$OLD
Michael hasn't made that many fixed blades, and there is maybe one other one like this somewhere. Here is a pic I took of him and Wally Hayes at the Tactical Invitational in Las Vegas last weekend.
Never been carried, used, or re-sharpened, and the original edges are very sharp.
