This is some san mai made from 15N20 and 1084. I do the san mai to give a fully hardened blade, with the look of a hamon. The forged finish is left on the flats, because I like how it looks. The spine is fileworked.

The handle is some nice cocobolo, held together with epoxy and pins, including one mosaic. I have average sized hands and this one fits mine just about perfectly. If you have giant paws, it might be a little tight.

The sheath is 8-9oz hand stitched and tooled leather. It is nice and solid, and holds the knife securely.

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

Price - $265 shipped to US. I prefer paypal to matt@baileyknives.com, but will accept check or money order

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