I had some W1 in round stock and forged it into this knife. I clay coated the blade for a nice hamon. It has been hand polished to 2000 grit and etched to bring out the details. it is forged thin and is razor sharp.
The handle comes from a stock of scales that I had purchased and just found at the back of a drawer. It is stabilized and dyed curly maple. I secured it to the tang with pins and G-flex epoxy.
The sheath is 5-6oz hand tooled leather from Wickett and Craig. the knife slides in and out easily, but can be turned upside down without loosening it's grip on the knife.
Dimensions
Blade - 3 5/8" tip to handle
OAL - 7 1/2"
Price - $200 shipped to US. I prefer paypal but will accept check or money order.
