San Mai with Damascus Cladding and Ironwood Hunter

[Bailey Knives]

It has been a while since I have had a difficult time putting a knife up for sale. I really like this one and considered keeping it. It is Alabama damascus, forge welded to W2 core. I did the san mai welding, the high layer stuff is done by Alabama Damascus. It has been hand polished to 800 grit and deeply etched.

The handle is Desert Ironwood. It is sanded and polished. It has beveled faces and each are polished to 1000 grit before buffing. It is very comfortable in the hand. It is held in place with pins and G-flex epoxy.

The sheath is 7-8oz hand tooled leather. The leather is from Wickett and Craig. It is specifically designed for this knife. It fits snugly and draws easily.

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

Price - $315 shipped to US. I will ship internationally for an additional fee.

I have this posted elsewhere, so the first timestamp to say "I'll take it!" gets it.

If I commented on all the knives you post, I would sound like a broken record: all of your knives have an attractive character to them, and they all show amazing workmanship.
