Yep - another one.
This one is W2 tool steel and Macassar Ebony. This is the last piece of the Ebony I may ever have.

The large piece of about 1 1/2" diameter steel laying in the center is where this blade began its life.
it's steel left over from a GM plant auto manufacturing process about 20 years ago. It is no longer available in this form.
I'm lucky to have a good supply of it.

No - thanks for asking.
I have full range of motion and mobility, but only about 40% strength.
Luckily I have both power hammer and hydraulic press to help me forge.
