Forged W1 and Ironwood

[Bailey Knives]

This one was hand forged from a 3/4" W1 roundbar.

I left the forged finish on the flats, but fine sanded and etched the bevels.

The blade was clay coated for a distinctive hamon, and the spine is fileworked

The handle is black linen micarta bolsters with Ironwood.

The sheath is 8oz leather with some hand tooling just for kicks.

Dimensions
Blade - 4 1/2" tip to handle
OAL - 9 1/2"

Price $200 shipped to CONUS. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.

The first "I'll take it" gets it

Nice,nice stuff!

Thanks everyone. I really like this knife. I will, however, drop the price nearly 20%. I will let it go for $200. If it doesnt sell for this price, it goes in a box and is set aside for my next knife show. I have been trying to set aside 1 knife a month until the show, and this one would work. If you were on the fence about this one, this should give you the shove you needed

I'll take it, Matt. Love your work, and this is a terrific deal.

Payment sent!
