I had an order back out, and I really wanted to keep this one. I know I have said that before, but I was really close to calling this my camp knife. I even did some cutting with it (cuts like a lightsaber)

The blade is 1084 and 5160 san mai. I left the forging marks on the flats. The spine is fileworked with my random vine filework.

The handle is tan canvas and black linen laminate. I call it "black and tan". It is held in place with 2 pins, a lanyard hoop and a mosaic pin. It also has a paracord lanyard loop with a turks head knot at the end.

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

Dimensions
Blade - 5 1/2 tip to handle
OAL - 10 1/4"

Price - $325 shipped to US. I prefer Paypal, but will accept check or money order.

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

Really nice work, both knife and the sheath. Great leather skills, and I really like the blade shape!

Cheers,
