W2/1018 Sanmai Kiritsuke

Steel: W2 core, 1018 jacket @64-65 RC at core.
Blade Length: 9"
Width at heel: 2.125"
Thickness above heel: .095"

Handle is made up of Stabilized dyed Maple burl, Stabilized Cherry burl, desert ironwood and anodized Ti spacers. The Desert Ironwood was reoiled after the pics after the anodizing pulled some of the natural oils out. Apologies for the pics.

That is not a hamon line, but a carbon migration line ending short of the heel. Still pegs at 64RC.

Comes with a 3 piece Cherry/walnut saya with anodized Ti keeper pin.

Bevel set on Nubatama synthetic stones and finished on an Ohira Tomae.
