Hi fellas: First, I want to thank Don Hanson for his gracious help and sharing of knowledge to get me started using W-2 and drawing a hamon. Also, I want to thank Matthew Bailey for his help in getting me a line on some Parks 50 quenchant. Helpful men like this that share their knowledge are a credit to this community and set an example for us to follow.
This is my first bowie/subhilt/hamon and without Don's help I would've floundered for awhile......at my age, I don't have a lot of time left to flounder, so to speak.
I hope you like it! The first email, PM, or "I'll take it" gets it. $450 plus $20 shipping - Paypal preferred to my account tksteingass@frontier.com and I'll accept USPS money orders. Maker's lifetime common sense warranty and free sharpening.
Best regards,
TK
1/4" W-2 stock
Differential HT with clay
Parks 50 quenched
Double tempered to Rc 60-61
12 7/8" OAL (wanted to keep it under 13")
7 7/8" Blade - flat ground with 25 degree secondary bevel
Soldered and pinned double guard
Hand rubbed to 1500 grit and etched
Unsharpened swedge
Stabilized Redwood burl from Burl Source
Satin finished 416 SS furniture with red liners
9/10 oz leather sheath
