Blade: Made in a utilitarian drop point profile, the W2 blade has a high hollow grind for razor-like slicing while maintaining solid durability. A half-length swedge tapers the tip to a fine point for piercing and detail work. Jimping on the spine and a pronounced index guard offers added security in use. While being perfectly capable of heavy work the blade is finished with a custom Hamon traditionally seen on Japanese knives and swords. This custom touch offers a unique style perfect for any collection.

Handle: Attached to the full tang blade with stainless steel pins the green canvas Micarta handles have a rugged look with visual appeal for collectors. Comfortably contoured, the polished scales are durable and ready for use with a pommel swell offering added control and security in the grip.
