W-1 Fighter for ABS Expo

[joshsmith]

Here is a hand forged W-1 Fighter for San Antonio. It has desert ironwood scales and 416 stainless pins with flowers engraved on them by Rick Dunkerley. It also has a tapered tang and Paul Long sheath. Please excuse the poor pics.

Nice and clean Josh! Is there a hamon in there???

It's nice to see you do something scaled back just to balance things out with your super high end stuff.

See 'ya soon bud!

 

[joshsmith]

Thanks Nick. There is a bit of a hamon there but I'm not the kind of photographer that can get it. I did not etch for it so it is not very bold. See you there.

NICE Josh. It looks super clean and like it would serve its purpose well. Nice ironwood too! But where is the sheath in the pictures

Haha. The sheath is still running around out in the pasture! Thanks Peter.

Nice looking fighter, Josh. That ironwood really gets ones attention. I think I know how that would feel in hand. Very nice!
