W2/Ebony Hunter

[Karl B. Andersen]

Blade Forums member, "Striderco", wanted a straight up 5 inch W2 Hunter.
He also wanted it take-down.
With a bold hamon.
Shown is the result.
I used Gaboon Ebony for the handle.

Thanks, Gary. Right close to 1500 for austenizing.
Double 400 temper.

Karl, I am a big fan of your hunters. This one looks top notch. When a handle 'feels' comfortable just from its image, you've got it goin'. Awesome piece, my friend.
