What a stunning collection. I saw the Marko 220 western in AEB-L. I've been waiting for mine for about 6 months now. Looks to virtually the same knife, mine is supposed to be 227mm. How do you like yours?

 

If I could start all over again, this is the collection I would go for, stunning!

Beautiful collection!!

I have to say...is the A2 steel a typo? Those hamon look quite real, and A2 is an air hardening steel. To my knowledge, it is impossible to get a hamon of that intricacy and beauty on steels in that family?

Again though...beautiful stuff!

 

Rader uses W2 for his hamon pieces, AFAIK.

 

A typo indeed.. W2

 

An impressive and beautiful collection. Kudos for good pictures as well.
With such a wide selection I wonder what are your daily drivers?
