Here is one with forged W2. I hand forged the bevels and clay coated the blade for the heat treat. This produced a nice hamon that is quite visible and bold. The blade was hand sanded to 2000 grit to bring out all the characteristics of the hamon.
The handle is my jigged bone. It provides nice grip, and in my opinion, looks really nice. It is held in place with several peened pins and acraglas.
The sheaths...well, you get two. I actually made a neck sheath for this one. When it was all done, I realized it was a left hand sheath. I usually make them right handed, so I made a different belt sheath that was right handed. The lefty neck sheath could easily be worn as a right hand sheath, but the tooling would be in, not out.
Dimensions -
Blade - 3 7/8" tip to handle
OAL - 7 7/8"
Price - $210 shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.
