Gentlemen:
This fighter was passed up by a client that had recent financial issues. So, for your consideration is my Battle Bowie design in W-2. The scales are presentation grade Desert Ironwood burl with bright red G-10 liners on a tapered tang. The blade is full flat ground up to the spine - the primary edge was ground to .030" with 25 degree bevels for a robust edge.. The blade was hand sanded to 2000 grit and etched to reveal a vivid hamon. The ricasso is radiused and large enough to comfortably choke up on this fighter. The solder joint is smooth and true with no pinholes. Superb fit and finish. I hope you like it! The first "I'll take it" gets it. $550 plus $18 shipping/insurance. Paypal payment preferred to my account tksteingass@frontier.com. Maker's lifetime common sense warranty and free sharpening.
