Sold. Forged W2 Hunter with Side Cut Micarta and Leather.

[Bailey Knives]

Here is a forged W2 hunter I finished up a while ago. The blade has been clay quenched for a nice hamon and then polished to 800 grit before etching.

The handle is side cut vintage linen micarta. It has been sculpted and shaped to fit the hand well. It is held in place with pins and g-flex epoxy.

The sheath is 7-8oz hand tooled leather.

Dimensions
Blade - 4 7/8” tip to handle
OAL - 9 7/8”

Price - sold shipped to US

I have this posted elsewhere, so the first time stamp saying “I’ll take it!” Gets it.

Boy howdy, as some were prone to exclaim where I grew up when suitably impressed. This knife is amazing. So much going on yet it is coordinated and doesn't seem busy, just gorgeous. Mercy, Mr. Bailey. Strong medicine.

WoW, Grady, well said. So Yep A#1 ++ Mr. Bailey, I have since 2006 or 7 watched your knife making become what it is now totally impressive. Happy New Year Gent's.
