This is one of the first knives out of my new shop.
This is some W2, forged out and left with the forge scale on the flats. The spine has been fileworked and the blade has been clay quenched for a nice hamon. It was then hand sanded to 2000 grit and etched to bring out the details.
The handle is black and white ebony. I have had it laying around for about 2 years, and finally decided to use it. It is held in place with regular pins and one mosaic, along with acraglas.
The sheath is 8-10oz hand tooled and stitched leather. The knife fits snugly and draws easily.
I really like the size of this knife for a lot of camp chores.
Dimensions
Blade - 5 1/8" tip to handle
OAL - 9 3/4"
Price - $245 shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.
The first to post here "I'll take it!" gets it.
Here is one with different lighting to try to better capture the hamon.
