Here is one I forged out of a bar of 1095. It has been clay quenched and then polished to 800 grit and etched.
The handle is maple scales with epoxy soaked hemp and a paracord turks head knot. The hemp wrap provides a really good grip and it is still comfortable to hold and use. The handle is held in place with G-flex epoxy and pins (along with the hemp wrap).
The sheath is 7-8oz leather. It is a snug fit and will draw easily with a tug.
Dimensions
Blade - 7 3/8" tip to knot
OAL - 13 1/4"
Price - sold. shipped to US.
I have this posted elsewhere, so the first timestamp saying "I'll take it!" gets it.
