This one was an order that once completed, I never heard from the guy again. One of the reasons I have been cutting down on taking orders. Anyways, enough of my griping. This is some of Hanson's W2, forged to a nice recurve hunter blade. It is clay quenched and polished to 2000 grit to bring out the details of the hamon. The blade is a razor.
The handle is stabilized curly koa. I ordered a block of it and luckily was able to get 2 knives out of it. It is really pretty stuff. It is held in place with G-flex epoxy and pins.
The sheath is totally different than what I normally do. He asked for a scout sheath, and I had to look it up to find out what it was. It is made to be worn in the small of the back, although it is versatile enough to loop nearly anywhere on the belt. The knife is held in with a retention strap and is secure.
Dimensions
Blade - 4 1/8" tip to handle
OAL - 8 3/4"
Price - $295 shipped to US
I have this posted elsewhere so the first timestamp to say "I'll take it" gets it
