Sold! Forged W2 Hunter with Bocote and Leather.

[Bailey Knives]

Here's one I forged out of W2. It has been clay quenched for a nice bold hamon. I polished it to 800 grit and then etched it to really bring out the details. The blade is razor sharp.

The handle is bocote. It is shaped and sculpted to fit the hand well, and it is all held together with pins and G-flex epoxy.

The sheath is 7-8oz hand tooled leather. The knife fits snugly and draws easily.

Dimensions
Blade - 5 1/2" tip to handle
OAL - 10 3/4"

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

Classy design. In the 3rd and 4th pics down, did you mean to show both sides of the bocote handle? Looks like both pics show the same side.

Oops. Nope one of those pics is a duplicate

I received the knife today. What a great blade, love the way it feels in hand. I also appreciate a nice edge and this one is outstanding. I am so glad I finally got my hands on one of your blades, I know this will be the first of many. Thanks!
