I designed this knife around my hand. It fits my hand like a glove, I love it.

The blade is 1084 with a clay quench for a nice bold hamon. The spine is file patterned.

I am probably most proud of the sheath. I really like how it turned out. The knife snaps in well, draws well and holds securely. It is also designed to be worn horizontally, or vertically on either side.

It has a mini mosaic 5/32 pin, and several other pins holding the handle in place.

There is an in hand shot for dimensions, but here they are anyways.
Blade 3 1/2" tip to handle
OAL 7 1/2"

Price - $180 shipped in the US. I prefer paypal to mlwbailey@yahoo.com, but will accept check or money order.

The first "I'll take it!" gets it.

Nice looking knife, but I REALLY like that sheath, especially the cross-strap for dual carry setup. Classy, clean, and effective!

I just recieved this spectacular knife! :thumbup: It feels like it grew out of my hand. The recurve and belly are in pefect position, and the handle fits my hand excellently.

And the sheath! This is undoubtedly the best sheath I own, and it is a perfect pair with this sweet blade.

Thanks, Matt, for such outsanding work. I will certainly be a repeat customer(if I get the chance!).
 
I am glad you like it. I will be making more sheaths like that. I really like it.
 
Matthew that sure is a great knife Roger brought it to work with him tonight and i got to see it and get a good feel of it. Doug kc2mvc
