Here's one I forged out of some old W2. It is a perfect hunting knife size. The blade has a deep fuller and has been clay quenched for a hamon. It was then polished to 800 grit, and etched to bring out the details.

The handle is Lignum Vitae. It is a very dense wood. It is held in place with pins and G-flex epoxy. It is sculpted and shaped to fit the hand comfortably.

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

Dimensions
Blade - 4 3/4" tip to handle
OAL - 9 1/2"

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.

What a beautiful blade. As a beginner I can't imagine how one makes a blade with so many intricacies come out with everything symmetrical. The simple elegant handle and hardware lets everything shine.
