Forged 1095, Ironwood, Hamon

[Bailey Knives]

This one is forged from a bar of 1095. I clay coated the blade for heat treating for a nice hamon. The spine has a random vine pattern filework.

The handle is Arizona Ironwood. It is really nice looking wood and is naturally stable.

The sheath uses my "H" pattern belt loop. It allows for horizontal and vertical ambidexterous carry. The knife fits snugly.

This is a fairly large knife. I took an in hand pic for dimensions and to give an idea of the hamon line.

Dimensions
Blade - 5 5/8"
OAL - 10 1/2"

Price - $230 shipped to US. I prefer Paypal, but will accept check or money order

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

Beautiful. It is like an evolved khukuri, in blade, handle and sheath. I love it.

Matt - your stuff is getting better looking everytime I see something you have done. I was showing off the knife you made from my drawings recently and the folks were blown away at your work and how well you replicated the design we worked on. Keep it up!

Matt, would you make me one of these with one of your composite handles?

 

[murphda2]

I would be really interested in seeing this piece with a tapered tang, no file work, and micarta slabs. If you are interested in making it.....shoot me a price!!!

Matt,
Beautiful knife and an even more elegant solution to a problem I’ve been having with holster designs (knife & cell phones) and it reminds me I really need to find and try some ironwood.Thanks,
Ray

 

[Bailey Knives]

Thanks everyone. I really like the sheath design. It is fairly compact and allows for multiple carry positions. (feel free to use it).

The knife arrived today, great balance and form. I really like it, so much that I might have to use it.

Thanks Mat!
