Here is one I forged from 5160. I put a pretty substantial recurve on it. The blade is antiqued to allow for heavy use without worry about scratching a pristine surface.

The handle is some g-carta from g.l.hansen and sons. It is an interesting rag pattern that has been sculpted and shaped for a comfortable grip. It is held in place with pins and G-flex epoxy.

The sheath is kydex that has a removable belt loop. The loop can be moved from one side to the other for right or left handed carry. It can also be completely removed and the knife just strapped onto a pack through the milled slots.

Dimensions
Blade - 6 1/8" tip to handle
OAL 11 7/8"

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.

BTW, that is not a crack in the blade in this pic. It is where the etching from the antiquing process went a little deep for some reason. It sometimes happens during the process.
