Here is an integral I forged from 3/4" W1 tool steel. The blade has been polished to 800 grit and then etched to reveal the hamon I created with the clay quench. The blade is a razor, extremely sharp.
The handle is desert ironwood. It has been shaped and sculpted to fit the hand well. The tang on this one is a through tang, and it is peened on the end. The shoulders near the ricasso have been left thick to provide extra strength and the tip of the tang is necked down to allow for peening and to hold everything in place.
The sheath is 7-8oz hand tooled leather from Wickett and Craig. It holds the knife securely but allows for an easy draw.
Dimensions
Blade - 4" tip to handle
Cutting edge - 3 3/8"
OAL - 8 1/8"
Price $220 shipped to US. I will ship internationally for an additional fee.
I will have this posted elsewhere, so the first timestamp saying "I'll take it!" gets it.
