Forged 1084 with G10 and Micarta

[Bailey Knives]

This is some of Aldo's 1084 forged out. It is left with the forged finish on the flats mostly because I like how it looks.

I have clay coated the blade for a nice hamon.
The spine is fileworked.

The bolsters are G10 and the handle is a laminate of tan (natural) canvas micarta, and black linen micarta. It is held in place with normal pins and one mosaic. I am pretty happy with the results.

The sheath is leather with some tool work done to it and a snakeskin inlay.

Dimensions
Blade - 6" tip to bolster
OAL - 11 3/4"

Price - $300 shipped to CONUS. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.

The first "I'll take it!" gets it

Wow, very nice. I really like the direction your sheaths are going.

I love the hamon you add to your knives. They really make me want to blow my tax refund.

Could I get a shot of the fileworking on this one?

Thanks!

 

[Bailey Knives]

Sure, Amroc. I am not sure why I did not take this pic. I normally do. Here it is although I did not set up my photo tent so these are just snapshots.

that is really beautiful work. Wish I could afford it.

 

[Bailey Knives]

Thanks Billbo,
I think I might do an "in the hand" shot to show the size more accurately. I wont be able to get to that until tonight.

Here is the in the hand pic I wanted to add.
The picture comes with a one time price drop. $300 shipped to CONUS

If it doesnt sell for that, it will go into storage for the next knife show. I have decided to get an early start.
