Both blades are forged from W2 steel. The handles are sea cow rib bone with copper and G10 spacers. The ricassos were forged using an A/O torch in combination with a small hand held hammer. 10 1/2 inches oal.
I really like the look of the forged in ricasso. It's something I've been meaning to try for a while. Not enough time / opportunity for forging though!
