Sold. Forged 80CRV2 Antiqued Camp Chopper

[Bailey Knives]

Here is one I forged out of some 80CRV2 I got from Aldo. I ground a fuller in to reduce weight and improve balance. I antiqued the finish because it makes it less likely to scratch and if it gets tarnished, it looks intentional.

The handle is brazilian ebony, wrapped in hemp cord and epoxy soaked. It is really comfortable and provides a nice grip. It has a turks head knot guard.

The sheath is grey kydex. It snaps in securely and the belt loop can be moved to either side for right or left hand carry. It also has webbing slots so it can be lashed to a pack if needed.

Dimensions
Blade - 8 1/2" tip to knot
OAL - 14 3/4"

Price - sold. I will ship internationally for an additional fee.

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

Awesome looking knife how thick is the blade stock?

 

[Bailey Knives]

It is about 5/32” at the thickest point. The original stock was .375, I forged it down to the thickness I wanted.

The wrapping looks really good, do you wet form it or wake it after application or just do it so tight it isnt going anywhere?

Another great job my friend....

I wrap it dry, and then soak the epoxy into it. It makes it quite solid.
