Here's a smaller knife from Hanson's W2. It has been clay quenched and etched for a bold hamon. I hand polished it to 2000 grit prior to etching.

The handle is cocobolo. I have some heartwood on one side and it makes for a nice bold contrast. The handle is shaped to fit the hand well. It is held in place with pins and G-flex epoxy.

The sheath is 7-8oz hand tooled leather from Wickett and Craig. It holds the knife well.

Dimensions
Blade - 3" tip to handle
OAL - 7 1/8"

Price - $200 shipped to US. I will have this posted elsewhere so the first timestamp to say "I'll take it!" gets it.







 
That is a great package, everything is right. Looks like a great food prep tool also.

Love the heartwood on cocobolo, I turn bowls using it for contrast sometimes. Lovely hamon as well.
