I forged this from some of Don Hanson's W2. It has been clay coated for a nice hamon and polished to 2000 grit to bring it out. It was ground on my rotary platen for a very slight convex grind.

The handle is stabilized sycamore, professionally stabilized from K&G. It is held in place with pins and acraglas. I try to mold and sculpt my handles to fit in the hand well, and I think I achieved it here.

The sheath is 8-9oz hand tooled leather from Wickett and Craig. It holds the knife well and allows it to draw easily.

Dimensions
Blade - 4 7/8" tip to handle
OAL - 9 3/4"

Price - $215 shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.

The first to post here "I'll take it!" gets it.











 
I don't often comment in here but had to say how nice this is. Love how the blade matches those scales.
