I have not made a knife with a pocket sheath in a while. I am not really sure why, it is how I carry my own knife, It is made to clip in the right hand pocket.
The blade is forged from 1080 and has been clay quenched for a hamon. The flats are left with the forge scale on them and the spine is fileworked.
The handle is jigged bone. I jigged it myself, and am pretty happy with how it turned out. It is held in place with peened pins. Even though the pins were peened, I contoured them to match the crests and troughs of the jigging. It is also secured with acraglas.
The sheath is 7-8oz hand tooled leather. It is lined with buckskin and you can see it rolled over the top edge. The knife slides in nicely.
Dimensions
Blade - 3 3/4" tip to handle
OAL - 7 5/8"
Price - $210 USPS shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.
The first to post here "I'll take it!" gets it.
