W-2 / Walrus Bowie

bbingenheimer · Apr 15, 2012

Hello everyone

This is one I had a lot of fun with. The guard style and the Walrus are a first for me. The W-2 is of course is clayed. Blade is 7.50" long. Overall length 12.25" The hardware is from W's patten billit. I got the walrus @ the Boise knife show 2 years ago. I've been letting it acclimate since then. We have such dry humidity here in the high desert. I wanted to minimize shrinkage or cracking.

That is truly beautiful. What a great hamon - I just don't seem to be able to do that
