I finally got around to putting a handle on this Chef's knife. It is 9-3/4" from point to bolster and 1-7/8" wide at the choil area. The W-2 has an interesting history. I purchased an ingot from MS Ray Rybar last year at the ABANA conference. Ray had this steel made to his exact specifications. Here is a photo of the ingot. It measured approximately 2" x 2" x 14" and weighed 20.2 pounds.

Here is the knife today. It still needs some final finishing and glue-up, but I figured I put it out there anyway. Who knows when I'll have time to do the final fiddly-bits. Stabilized Buckeye, red vulcanized paper, and black micarta.

For those of you curious enough, the ingot was cut into thirds and forged down using a press and power hammer. Here is photo of the three pieces in various stages. Raw ingot, partially forged, and the third piece is the bar I made this knife from. It was 1-1/4" x 3/8" x about 30" long.
