This one is still available.
The knife is forged closest to shape from 5160 steel.
It has nice distal taper and upset guard.
I wanted to have more of raw finish, so i didn't pay much attention to forging scale as i usually do.
Bevels are hand sanded with 800 grit and etched in lemon acid.
Guard is forged and polished with visible hammer marks, but feels smooth in the hand.
For handle material i used nice piece of deer antler and i used potassium permanganate for forced patina.
I wanted to achieve aged, rustic look and i think it looks just like that.
Hammered brass pins to follow the style...
Handle fits perfectly in right and left hand.
Sheath is made of 5/32" thick vegetable tanned leather, and it is covered with rawhide. Belt loop is made of rawhide, and all is hand stitched with cross stitches.
Polished antler beads on rawhide strings on the front of the sheath.
Some work in progress pictures can be found here:

Dimensions are:
Overall length - 11,7"
Blade length - 7"
Blade width - 1,34"
Blade thickness (at the touchmark area) - 1/8"
Tang is tapered to 5/64" at the end.
Knife wights 6,88 oz and with sheath is 16,7 oz
Asking SOLD, int. priority shipping with tracking number included
