Here I have a 7 1/4" "S" guard Fighter made from W2.
I did the normal clay processing on this W2 blade and played around some with exposing the hamon. It's sort of a "hybrid" hamon in that I did not leave it "as etched" showing extreme contrast, nor did I do a long process of hand rubbing.
This is sort of somewhere in the middle and I like the subtle exposure I achieved.
It was deeply etched, and the lightly hand rubbed.
The hamon is still easily visible.
The Stabilized Curly Maple handle speaks for itself!
The easy "S" guard is 1018 hot blued mild steel and is part of a full take-down assembly.
Just a real joy to hold and fondle.
Could easily substitute for a camp knife.
Come complete with heavy leather sheath, zippered pouch and Certificate of Authenticity.
Just playing here with some photography editing on a Friday night and thought I'd add another photo:
