Here is one I forged out of 80crv2 steel. The blade has been antiqued so the finish is able to be used and abused without concern of scratching a high polish finish.
The handle is purpleheart scales with an overwrap of microparacord and a paracord turks head knot. The cord is soaked in epoxy and is very durable and provides good grip. The scales are held in place with pins and G-flex epoxy. It is very comfortable to hold.
The sheath is kydex, with a leather belt loop that is removable and can be switched to the other side for right or left hand carry. There is also slots milled to allow it to be lashed to a pack. It holds the knife securely, and the knife pops free with a push of the thumb on the kydex above the spine of the knife.
Dimensions
Blade - 7" tip to knot
OAL - 12 3/4"
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.
