so W2 steel from aldo a bit of clay and a quench in water then in parks 50 (to keep the blade from taking much arc)
gane "guard" of brass nic-silver and copper. nic-silver spacers and screw o cap
black wood is the smaller and buckeye burl is the main of the handle
the blade is 24 inches or so and over all it is 38
this is a single bevel blade used to brake down large tuna but i dressed it up a bit
the front of the grind is much like a sword but he back is hollow ground on a wheel in the 3-4 foot range (mine is a 4 footer platten)
this makes for a blade that is able to be nearly layed flat on the hones to be sharpened but also has an angle set at right around 15 degrees
