Here is a very nice W2 forged knife. The blade has been polished to 2000 grit and it has a very nice hamon. I think I nailed the pics of the hamon also, sometimes that is difficult to do. The flats have been left with a forged finish, and the spine is fileworked.
The handle is some very nice snakewood. Snakewood is a little difficult to work with because of checking, but this one turned out well. It is a beautiful natural material that polishes up like glass. It fits my hand well and has nice contours. It is held in place with pins and acraglas.
The sheath is 7-8oz hand stitched and tooled leather. I used a fine basketweave on this one. It takes quite a bit more time to do it, but it looks a bit more refined (if you ask me)
Dimensions
Blade - 4 7/8" tip to handle
OAL - 10"
Price - $265 shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.
