Hay Rake Knife in O1 With Bocote

[Bailey Knives]

Here is one of my hay rake knives, forged from O1, the same dimensions as my grandfather's hay rake tines. The blade has been hand polished to 800 grit, heat treated and sharpened to a razor's edge.

The handle is Bocote. The tang is a through tang, and is peened on the end and everything is held securely.

The sheath is 7-8oz hand tooled leather from Wickett and Craig. It holds the knife securely, and draws easily.

Dimensions
Blade - 3 3/8" tip to handle
Cutting edge - 2 1/2"
OAL - 6 7/8"

Price $sold shipped to US. I will ship internationally for an additional fee.

I will have this posted elsewhere, so the first timestamp saying "I'll take it!" gets it.

Matthew,
I can see why this went quick.
GREAT LOOKING KNIFE, NEAT USABLE BLADE, BEAUTIFUL WOOD and HANDLE DESIGN.
VERY NICE LEATHER WORK, I like the white thread.
Your Grandfather would be PROUD.

I am sorry I missed this one. That is a very handsome knife and sheath combo. The styling and finish of the blade contrasts nicely with the as-forged ricasso section. Great work all around.

Congrats to the new owner!
