Here is a nice one I did from my own san mai. I use 1084 from Aldo for the core steel, and high nickel, low carbon sandwich layers. The blade is razor sharp and has been left with the forge scale on the flats.

The handle is bias cut natural linen micarta. It looks like wood grain, and several people have had a difficult time telling the difference between this material and wood. Cutting on the bias shows the layers really well and this micarta is nice and dark. the spacers are G10, some black and red, and some black and grey. The guard is nickel silver.

The sheath is 7-8oz hand tooled and hand stitched leather. The knife fits well and draws easily. I tried to match the colors of the sheath and the colors of the knife.

Dimensions
Blade - 4 1/4" tip to handle
OAL - 8 7/8"

Price - $225 shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.

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

Beautiful work Matt! I'm surprised this has not sold yet.. I'm getting very tempted!
 
I have wanted each and every knife of this style that you have made Matt. One of these days...
