W-2 Hunter with Premium Koa

[A C Richards]

Well its been a while since I have actually finished a knife. But here is one I completed this AM.

6.125 W-2 blade with a nice active Hamon. Unfortunately I cannot capture the full effect of the hamon with the camera. The fixtures are parkerized and wax sealed wrought iron with phosphor bronze and stainless spacers. The handle is premium grade stabilized Koa. This material has an iridescence and depth that makes you feel like you can crawl right into the handle. It changes with handle manipulation and light. A very nice piece of wood. Over all length is 11".

Delivering it to the new owner tomorrow. He has already seen the pics but they just do not do it justice.

Chuck,

I really like everything about that knife, especially the Koa. The guard with the brass spacer is really nice too.

Bravo!!! That is a beautiful, yet functional knife! Is this one already spoken for or is it up for sale?

 

[A C Richards]

Thanks all. This one is already sold, delivering it today.

 

[Blade Yang]

Yes, it's really a very beauiful knife, and use the W2 steel making it with very good performance:thumbup:

amazing!

 

[Brian Ayres]

That sure is a lovely knife. :thumbup: The things I like best are the clip, it adds a nice dimension to the blade, the parkerized wrought is sweet. And what's not to love about the Koa?
I'm not a big fan of bronze or brass on knives but the spacer between the wrought is perfect.
It just happens I'm in Salem now. I can take delivery when you are free...

Very clean and well done.

That's a very sharp looking knife and going to a happy owner, no doubt.

 

[A C Richards]

Thanks all. The new owner was very happy with it. Now have to make a couple three or four more.

Nice one Chuck.

 

[harnamsc]

Absolutely beautiful...................mind if I ask how much the new owner paid for that knife?

 

[A C Richards]

Thanks again everyone. I was a bit worried, as I always am, using such an expensive handle material. Don't want to mess it up. I really have to tighten up the "cup" when I do Ivory

Harnamsc if you activate your PM or email me via my forum email, (click on my name), I will be happy to discuss prices with you.

I'll echo the "I like everything about it!" theme here Chuck!

Beautiful lines and perfectly complimenting materials... and super clean.

Nicely done Chuck!!! :thumbup:

Clean, classic lines Chuck. I like it, especially the contrast between the parkerized wrought and bronze:thumbup:
