Here is one I forged out of some old W2 I picked up at a knife show this last spring (just before shutdown). The blade has been clay quenched and lightly etched for a nice ghosty hamon. It was hand polished to 800 grit prior to etching.
The handle is brazilian ebony. It will darken with time. It has been shaped and polished to be comfortable in the hand. It is held in place with g-flex epoxy and pins. There is also a hemp cord wrap that adds grip. It has been soaked in epoxy. I like how it accents the overall look.
The sheath is hand tooled 7-8oz leather that holds the knife securely and allows for an easy draw.
Dimensions
Blade - 6 1/2" tip to handle
OAL - 12 1/4"
Price - sold shipped to US. I will ship internationally for an additional fee
I have this posted elsewhere, so the first timestamp saying "I'll take it!" gets it
