This is forged from 1084 steel. The blade has been clay quenched for a nice bold hamon. The hamon itself has a lot of "activity", and the knife is razor sharp.
The handle is hemp wrapped and soaked in Raka epoxy. It is a boatbuilding epoxy that I have used to make a canoe or two. It is very durable and comparable to West Systems. The epoxy is waterproof and it allows the hemp to be really grippy. The "bolster" is leather cordage tied in a turk's head knot. It is also soaked in epoxy.
The sheath is my leather neck knife design. The knife is held securely, (I could not shake it out of the sheath). It draws nicely with a tug. The paracord is adjustable by pulling on the knots in different directions. I wore this knife to a family function and I wore it high on my chest. No one even knew I had it on me.
Dimensions
Blade - 3 1/2" tip to knot
OAL - 7 3/4"
Price - $185 shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.
The first to post here "I'll take it!" gets it.
