This blade is forged from Hanson's W2. It has been clay quenched for a nice bold hamon. I hand sanded it to 1500 grit and etched it. The hamon is quite bold.

The handle is a bit of a different design for me, but I like how it worked out. It really fits the hand nicely. The cocobolo has been faceted and polished to a nice luster. Everything is held in place with pins and G-flex epoxy.

The sheath is 7-8oz hand tooled leather from Wickett and Craig. The knife draws easily and yet holds securely.

Dimensions
Blade - 4 1/2" tip to handle
OAL - 9 5/8"

Price - $305 shipped to US. I will ship internationally for an additional fee.

I will have this posted elsewhere, so the first timestamp saying "I'll take it" gets it.
