Here's one I just finished that would make a nice hunter, or an all-around camp knife for someone. I forged it from 3/4" round bar, and then I clayed it, producing a nice, visible hamon. I also did a little experimenting with cord wrapping, and it turned out well. Very "grippy". The knife also has a nice distal taper on handle and blade both.

This knife will come with a leather pouch-type sheath, it just isn't complete, yet.

Specs are:
Steel: Forged W1
Overall length: 9 3/8"
Blade, cutting edge: 4 3/4"
Handle: Black paracord wrapped
Sheath: Leather pouch

Price $150
Shipping included in price to US48. Paypal preferred, but not a deal-breaker.

Thanks for taking a look!

Nice design on this one Tobin.
I like the upswept point profile providing optimal long edge contact.
What is the steel hardness range on your W1?

Thanks, navyvet! I took this one in to our tool & die shop at work and had it tested. It tested at 59 RC.
