Here is one I forged out of 5160 a while ago. I aged the blade so it can be used and abused with no concern about scratches. It is the same finish I have on my personal camp knife and I like how it holds up.
The handle is wrapped paracord with a turks head knot bolster. It has a layer of leather under it to add some width and then the whole thing was coated in epoxy so it is very durable. If the handle ever needed to be removed, I would have to grind it off!
The sheath is kydex, with a leather belt loop. The loop can be changed from one side to another to allow for right and left hand carry. It can also be removed completely and strapped to a pack using the milled slots in the sheath.
Dimensions
Blade - 6 1/2" tip to knot
OAL - 12"
Price - sold shipped to US. I will ship internationally for an additional fee.
I have this posted elsewhere, so the first timestamp saying "I'll take it!" gets it.
