This is one of the last 2 of my J.S Test Knives and is of Take-Down construction!  The blade is 8.5" of W2 steel with a Saguha Hamon.  Guard and spacer are Plum Browned steel, and the handle is a beautiful stabilized Buckeye Burl.  This knife includes an incredible matching Buckeye Burl scabbard with Buffalo Horn Koiguchi (throat).  Don't forget, this knife is of Take-Down construction and can be disassembled for service :)
