Here is a san mai recurve. It is 8670 and 5160 steel, three layers to give the look of a hamon with a fully hardened blade. The spine is fileworked. I left the flats as forged, because I like how it looks.

The handle is a nice dark set of cocobolo. It is mostly black with stripes of orange.

The sheath is 8-9oz hand stitched leather. It is hand tooled and dyed. It complements the knife very well.

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

Price - $280 shipped to US. I prefer paypal to matt(at)baileyknives.com, but will accept check or money order

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

I went back to add another picture, and it is gone to kdebjr. Thanks, I will get it ready to go.
 
Thanks. I've been trying to get one of your knives for a while but never quick enough. Right place, right time today. Its a beauty. Thanks.
 
lol, someone took it before he could finish posting pics, and i can't blame him...that is fantastic looking.
 
Less than 2 minutes, gotta be close to a record! Nice pick up, and an awesome knife.
 
That's just obscene. I've seen professional models less attractive than that knife.
 
Thanks everyone.
Kdebjr, I got your paypal and have it ready to go in tomorrow's priority mail.

Thanks again.
 
Really sweet Matt... your knives always go fast but this is just ridiculous :)
Congrats to the new owner.
 
Another beauty Matt! One of these days I will own one of your blades...(fingers crossed)...
 
Thanks everyone for your comments.
Kdebjr, the knife is in the mail. You should have it before the week is out.
