This is one of the rare cases when I forged a whole ingot into one blade. The steel is crucible carbon steel(Crazy Dmitry Steel). It has some figure and natural yellowish color( not a heat color). Some "blemishes" on the blade are the hammer marks and traces of natural wrincling. I forged this blade very close to the final shape.
The blade is just a tad shorter than 9" with 8" edge. It is 1\4" at thickest and 1-1\4" at widest. Flat bevels. Hand finished to 800 grit.
The guard and the butt nut are mild steel. Hand engraved with deep relief design; blued and aged. The tang goes all the way through the handle and the butt nut has a lanyard loop embelished with the carved leaf.
The handle is Black Walnut.
The sheath is hand stitched from 9OZ leather; dyed and hand tooled with the same motiff as the guard.
This is a sole authorship knife, One-Of-A-Kind as usual.
I ask $950 for it shipped CONUS via Insured USPS Mail.
PayPal preferred but I will accept MO and a Personal Check(will ship after the check is cleared).
Feel free to ask any questions
