Just finished this one up for a customer...
Blade is 250 mm, S35VN, heat treated, cryo, and tempered to finish at HRC 61-62, with a stone rubbed finish. Yes, you read correctly. At this hardness, S35VN is a royal PITA to finish, regular paper abrasives just weren't "cutting" it. This will likely become a regular in house routine.
Bolster is tri color Mokume, (copper, brass and nickel/silver)
Handle scales are some of Marks Arizona Desert Ironwood, with white G10 liners, stainless and mosaic pins.
Thanks for looking.
