24.5” long, 1.62” at it’s widest, almost .375” thick with almost .75” of sori.  it’s a san mai blade meaning “three layers” a core of W2 tool steel wrapped in a jacket of 750 layer laminated 1075/1045. This has got to be one of the wickedest things I’ve made. Mounted as a nagamaki(long wrappings) it has a copper habaki, titanium seppa, and a heat colored hammer finished Zirconium tsuba. Rayskin wrap on tsuka with arrow menuki, antique iron fuchi, buffalo horn kashira and with my custom cord braiding over the 19.5” handle. This is a beast with a extremely active hamon. This is a most impressive piece yet still feels good in the hands. I was asking $5000.00 for this at the blade show and had some people interested but no takers. I’m accepting reasonable offers although this is one I wouldn’t mind having around for a bit.
