San Mai and Camelbone

[Bailey Knives]

This one is an order that lost contact. I waited about 2 months and decided that it should go here.

It is 1095 core san mai, about 3/8" thick. I left the forged finish on the flats, because I like how it looks. The spine is fileworked. I just realized that I took the pictures before I etched the spine. Etching the spine will show the three layers well.

The handle is stabilized camel bone. It is held in place with 3 normal and 1 mosaic, along with acraglas.

The sheath is 8-9oz hand stitched and tooled leather. It holds the knife securely and draws easily.

Dimensions
Blade - 5 5/8" tip to handle
OAL - 10 5/8"

Price - $345 shipped to US. I prefer paypal to matt@baileyknives.com, but will accept check or money order.

The first to reply here "I'll take it!" Gets it.

I know he won't, but if GGA back out Matt, holler

 

[Bailey Knives]

Mr. Clean
Will do, but don't expect a holler. GGA has never backed down, plus I just noticed he paid. Sorry, maybe next time.

I'm making some more san mai tomorrow.

 

[Mr. Clean]

Yeah I've noticed He should share

I'll take mine with black linen micarta please - hehehe
