I forged this from Aldo's W2 and clay coated it for a hamon. The tang is also slightly tapered as a result of the forging.
The handle is desert ironwood. It is held in place with G-flex epoxy and peened pins. I domed the pins by peening and sanding, I kind of like the results. I have had to remove a set of scales that were fastened with peened pins, and it took a lot of work with a hammer and chisel. The handle is also sculpted for a nice comfortable grip.
The sheath is hand tooled from Wickett and Craig 8-9oz leather. The knife holds snugly and draws nicely.
Dimensions
Blade - 4 1/8"" tip to handle
OAL - 8 1/2"
Price - $215 shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.
