San Mai Recurve

[Bailey Knives]

I considered taking this one with me to the next knife show, but decided I would let one go on the forum first.

This is a san mai recurve. The core steel is 1084 and the outer layers are A203E. The A203E has a sort of a pattern to it when it is etched. I really like this san mai combination.

The handle is black linen and tan canvas micarta laminate.

The sheath is 8-9oz hand stitched and tooled. I tried to kind of replicate the look of the san mai on the sheath.

Dimensions
Blade - Just under 5" tip to handle
OAL - Just under 10"

Price - $335 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.

Always loved your style of knives but this one is just stunning.Shame your not taking orders at the moment because something like this with about a 7 in. blade would be my perfect knife.I'd use the piss out of it too.The day you start taking orders again i'm sooo going to finally get one of your blades.

I like the two tone w/ the blade & sheath.
