I forged this from Aldo's 1084. I decided that I needed to make a few smaller knives, as I have been making mostly larger (5-6" blades) for a while. I saw a few at a knife show that I liked and thought "Man, I really need to make some smaller knives." So, that being said, here is what I came up with. The blade has been clay coated for a nice visible hamon. The flats have been left with the forge scale on them, because I like how it looks.
The handle is thin jigged bone. I have thicker stuff, but wanted this one to have a very low profile. It is held in place with pins and G-flex. I jigged the bone myself, and treated it to darken and age it.
The sheath is designed to be worn around the neck. The knife holds securely. It can also be slipped into the pocket for a nice pocket sheath. It is hand tooled leather from Wickett and Craig.
Dimensions
Blade - 3 1/2" tip to handle
OAL - 7 1/8'
Price - $180 shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.
The first to post here "I'll take it!" gets it.
