Here is one with W2, clay quenched for a nice bold hamon. I spent quite a few pictures trying to capture it well, and think I finally got it. Those pesky hamons can be difficult to capture with a picture. The spine has been fileworked and the flats are left with the forge scale on them. This is some of Hanson's W2, cut from a big cylinder of steel and forged out nice and flat.
The handle bone with a black linen micarta bolster. The handle is held in place with pins and acraglas. It is very comfortable in the hand.
The sheath is 8-9oz hand stitched and hand tooled leather from Wickett and Craig. It is specifically made to fit this knife. The knife fits snugly and draws easily.
Dimensions
Blade - 5 3/8" tip to handle
OAL - 10 1/8"
Price - SPF shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.
