Silk Fighter

The silky blade of this fighter is 52100, forged from round bar and differentially tempered and hand-finished.  The guard is 416 stainless with a matching satin hand finish.  The handle is copper-color curly maple set so that the curl in the wood runs on a diagonal to the handle.  This ends up showing off a lot more of the curly figure than the typical perpendicular arrangement.  

The sheath is a high-ride model with a rock-garden tooling pattern.
