This is the final one of the first three out of my new shop.
This is some W2, forged out and left with the forge scale on the flats. The spine has been fileworked and the blade has been clay quenched for a nice hamon. It was then hand sanded to 2000 grit and etched to bring out the details.
The handle is some nice cocobolo, held in place with regular pins and one mosaic, along with acraglas.
The sheath is 8-10oz hand tooled and stitched leather. The knife fits snugly and draws easily.
The hamon on this one is quite bold, and specifically patterned to look like a sunburst from the spine. I dont know if it ended up looking that way, but that was the intent.
Dimensions
Blade - 5 5/8" tip to handle
OAL - 10"
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.
