Just got back from the St. Louis Show -- had a lot of fun, but the sellin' was slow. :D I have two for sale and the price include shipping within CONUS (international fine, but may have to pay for any added shipping cots). I can do Paypal or MO --

Thanks for checking them out -- let me know if you have any questions. :)

The first up is a Dao-style blade with a very strange hamon. It is 3/16-thick 1095 with a 6-inch cutting edge and is 11 3/4 inches overall. It has black rayskin underlays with epoxy-soaked cordwrap and comes with a black leather sheath. Price: $325 SOLD

Next up is the large tanto (real creative name eh? ;)). It has a 6 1/2-inch blade of 31/6 1095 and is about 12 1/2 inches overall. It has black rayskin underlays featuring the "star" on the the right hand of the blade. The blade is flat-ground with a "V-ground" spine. Price: $350 SOLD

Some makers hate to do leather, it is the part of the package that makes a fixed blade a pleasure or not to carry. More and more Smiths and makers are doing a complete job even if they job out the leather. The leather is an art of trial and time with a hope of help and a book or two. Very nice work.

Be well

Nice stuff, Mike! :thumbup:

You definitely have the wrap down. Does that mean you are a wrapper? :p
