This one is a W2 blade that was clay-backed for exposing a hamon during hardening and is fitted with a piece of "firewood"!
Cut this out of a crotch of walnut and then dried for two years prior to sending it out for stabilizing.
It got so dark after finishing that I couldn't manage to truly reveal the "flame" on camera. It's almost as dark as African Blackwood.
Hot-blued mild steel take-down fittings.
