Here is one of my large hay rake knives. The name comes from the original design where I made small integrals from my grandfather's hay rake tines. I bought some larger O1 and made this.

It is O1, forged out, heat treated and hand polished to 800 grit. It is razor sharp.

The handle is ironwood. It is shaped and polished and fits the hand perfectly. It has a through tang and is peened on the end.

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

Dimensions
Blade - 7" tip to handle
OAL - 11 1/2"

Price - $255 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

I’ve been watching your posts on Instagram. Those really are outstanding and quite different! Nice to see in hand pictures/video to get a feel for size.
