I just got back from the Ohio Classic knife show this weekend. It was great, BHK did an awesome job promoting. I went with 15 and came back with 4.

This is one of the ones I came back with. I am a little surprised, it was one of my favorites. Maybe I marked it up too much because I like it, so I will remedy that here.

It is W2 forged from one of Hansons big cylinders of W2. Of course the blade has been clay quenched for a nice hamon. The spine also has been fileworked with my random vine pattern

The handle is linen micarta and cocobolo. The cocobolo has a nice deep red color. It is held in place with pins and acraglas.

The sheath is 8-9oz leather from Wickett and Craig. It is hand stitched and tooled.

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

Price - $210 shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.

The first to post here "I'll take it!" gets it.

Gfleet, it is yours.
Thanks for the comments everyonene.
LA, I will post one more tomorrow. One I donated to a cancer benefit I found out about last minute and one may be spoken for. Maybe.
 
That is just a great looking blade there. Sounds like you had a successful show. Been watching your blades here and they all look sweet. I'm gonna have to set aside some funds to try one of yours out.
Regards, Randy
