Here is a forged 1095 blade. I actually made it for an order, but made the blade too long, so I started another one like it, but with a shorter blade.

The blade has been clay coated for a nice hamon. The spine is fileworked, and tapered.

The handle is some very nice Desert Arizona Ironwood. It kind of glistens in the right light.

The sheath is 8oz leather. I did some tooling on it to resemble reptile skin. The knife is held securely, but slides out easily when needed.

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

Price - $190 shipped to USA. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.

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

Oh, I wish I had the money, I would be saying I'll take it. But, I am busted.

Beautiful work, Matt! I love the hamon...great activity and perfect lines. And you have to love Arizona Ironwood: God's knife handle material.

Sorry I missed it.
