This is one I forged from Aldo's W2. The blade has been polished to 2000 grit and etched to reveal a very nice and bold hamon. I think the last few pics show it well. The spine has been fileworked within the handle area.

The handle is African Blackwood. It is held into place with acraglas and peened pins. The handle is sculpted and shaped to fit the hand. It is also polished nicely and shines nicely.

The sheath is 7-8oz hand tooled leather from Wickett and Craig. The knife holds snugly and draws easily.

Dimensions
Blade - 5 3/8"
OAL - 10 1/4"

Price - $250 shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.

The first to post here "I'll take it!" gets it.

Man - I would jump on this tonight if I had the funds. I might have to ask you to make another at some point. Awesome.
 
Beautiful. I have a hard time not buying everything you make. What a great blade.
