===================

Matt Bailey camp knife:

• Nice Bone handle and hamon. The Bone is very dense and high quality, resembles ivory. Brass and mosaic pins.
• Forged 7-3/4” blade length, unsure of blade steel, could be W2, given the nice hamon.
• 12” OAL. Nice sheath. File worked spine in handle area.
• Excellent condition, unused. Only thing that takes it down from “Mint” are a couple very, very light (hairline) scratches to the finish that I couldn’t get to show in photographs.
• $350 shipped CONUS. No international sales. Paypal preferred (rdangerer@gmail.com), money orders accepted. No personal checks.
