This is a piece of W2, cut off a 2 1/4" cylinder and forged out. It has been clay quenched for a nice bold hamon. The spine is fileworked. I left the flats with the forge scale, mostly because I like how it looks.
The handle is jigged bone. A friend gave it to me a while ago, and I have been waiting to try it. It isn't stag, obviously, but I like how it looks. It is kind of grippy and works well with the sheath. I did have to grind the pins a little irregularly in order to make them fit with the grooves of the jigging.
The sheath is 8-9 oz hand stitched and hand tooled leather. The knife fits well and draws easily.
Dimensions
Blade - 3 8/8"
OAL - 8 1/4"
Price $215 shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.
