I forged this one from a bar of Cruforge V. Before I finished it, I did quite a bit of cutting and chopping with it (as much chopping as you can do with this size blade). It held up very well.

I clay coated the blade for a hamon. I know Cruforge is not supposed to get a hamon, so I played with the clay application a bit, and came up with this. The spine is also fileworked and tapered.

The handle is black linen micarta laminated to tan G10. I like the combination.

The sheath has a clip for right handed in the pocket carry, or left handed belt carry. I personally carry my own knife in my pocket, and have no desire to carry one on my belt now.

Dimensions
Blade - 4 1/2" tip to handle
OAL - 9"

Price - $190 Shipped to US. I prefer paypal to matt(at)baileyknives.com

The first to post here "I'll take it!" gets it.
