I forged this from Aldo's W2. It is a nice sized blade for a lot of different tasks. The blade has been clay quenched for a nice bold hamon. It also was hand polished to 2000 grit to bring out the details of the hamon. The tang is also slightly tapered.

The handle is some nice deep brown canvas micarta that I just found. It is held in place with peened pins and G-Flex epoxy. I contoured it to fit the hand nicely.

The sheath is 8-9oz hand tooled leather from Wickett and Craig. The knife is held nicely and securely, but draws with just a tug.

Dimensions
Blade - 3 5/8" tip to handle
OAL - 8 1/4"

Price - $220 shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.
