This is W2. I have had the blade ready for hand sanding for a while, and finally decided to finish it. The blade was clay quenched and has a nice bold hamon. The spine is also fileworked.
The handle is bone. It polishes up quite nicely, and I like how it looks. It is held in place with 3 regular pins, one mosaic and acraglas.
The sheath is 8-10oz hand stitched and tooled leather. It holds the knife securely and still allows it to draw easily.
There is some discoloration at the butt of the spine in the filework picture. It is gone now.
Dimensions
Blade - 7 3/4" tip to handle
OAL 12"
Price - $260 shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.
The first to post here "I'll take it!" gets it.
