Another two piece set in A2 steel. These handles are made from material that was given to me. I was told that all the pieces were Keiyaki but when I cut into some of them it was pretty clear that they were not all the same. I believe the main piece of each handle is Keiyaki. The ferrule piece is unknown. Maybe it is also Keiyaki but it looks a bit like Madrone to me. At any rate, I like the two together.

Also note that the stamping on these two blades is not identical. They are however both the same A2 steel.
