Here is one I forged out of W2. Every once in a while, the hamon that I am shooting for reveals itself. This is one of those times. It really has a nice bold contrast and activity. It was hand polished to 800 grit before etching.
The handle is some really nice desert ironwood. It is very comfortable in the hand with no hot spots. It is held in place with pins and G-flex epoxy.
The sheath is 7-8oz hand tooled leather. It holds the knife securely but allows for a nice easy draw.
Dimensions
Blade - 7 3/8" tip to handle
OAL - 12 5/8"
Price - sold shipped to US.
I have this posted elsewhere, so the first timestamp saying "I'll take it!" gets it.
