I made some san mai recently, and thought I would make this out of a piece of it. It is 1084 for the core steel, and high nickel and low carbon sandwich layers. It is extremely sharp.
The handle is camel bone. I found a few pieces of it hiding under my other handle material, that I had forgotten about. I like working with this stuff, because it shines up like glass. It is held in place with pins and G-flex epoxy. It also has a tapered tang.
The sheath is lined 8-9oz leather from Wickett and Craig. It is hand tooled and made to be slipped in the right hand pocket. It can be clipped on the belt on the left side for lefties. It is a very comfortable way to carry a knife and it is how I carry my own personal knife.
Dimensions.
Blade - 3 1/2" tip to handle
OAL - 7 3/8"
Price - $215 shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.
The first to post here "I'll take it!" gets it.
