This is a beefy piece of W2. It has been forged down with a distal taper towards the tip, and a tapered tang. 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 7-8oz hand stitched and tooled leather. The knife fits well and draws easily.

Dimensions
Blade - 5 1/4" tip to handle
OAL - 9 1/2"

Price - $265 shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.

The first to post here "I'll take it!" gets it.
