Forged 1095 Neo-Kukri

[Bailey Knives]

I did not start calling it a neo-kukri. I had a few people say that is what it looks like. It is a good sized knife, but not quite big enough to be a kukri in my opinion.

The steel is 1095, clay quenched for a nice bold hamon. The spine has been fileworked.

The bolster is black canvas micarta and the handle is Bocote.

The sheath is 8oz leather, hand stitched and tooled. It features my "H" style belt loop that allows for ambidexterous horizontal and vertical carry.

Dimensions
Blade - 5 1/2" tip to handle
OAL - 10 3/8" in a straight line from tip to butt (not taking into consideration the curve of the knife)

Price $235 shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.

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

Stunning work as usual Matt! If I hadn't just bought one from you this would be mine, can't believe it hasn't sold yet.
Does mine have the same general dimensions as this one? I can't remember.

I received this knife Saturday. It is everything I expected and more. Matt does some really nice work. Perfect fit in hand and great balance. Very nice leather work. I would highly recommend Matt's work to anyone.

Ditto that. I also received mine on Saturday and it's outstanding. Fits my hand like Matt took detailed measurements and custom fit it just for me. Matt's attention to detail is awesome, and you can't beat the price for a forged blade with a leather sheath. Well done Matt.

I just wanted to bump this thread up so anyone who missed it last weekend could see it. This is one fantastic knife. I really like the design. Everything about this knife is perfect, hamon, filework, sheath, handle material. I could go on and on. Great work Matt.
