Sold. Forged W2 Chopper with Linen Micarta and a Partial Wrap.

[Bailey Knives]

Here is one I forged out of some of Aldo's W2. It has been clay quenched for a nice bold hamon and then polished to 800 grit before etching to bring out all the details.

The handle is black linen micarta with a small overwrap of micro paracord that has been epoxy soaked. The paracord helps give it some grit and also provides a visual contrast. The handle is shaped and sculpted to fit the hand well and is held in place with pins and G-flex epoxy.

The sheath is 7-8oz hand tooled leather. It holds the knife securely and allows for a smooth draw.

Dimensions
Blade - 8 1/4" tip to handle
OAL - 13 7/8"

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

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