Sold. Forged W2 Tanto shaped Chopper with Hamon and Leather

[Bailey Knives]

Here is one I forged out of Aldo's W2. I ground in a fuller and then clay quenched it for a nice bold hamon. The blade was hand polished to 800 grit then etched to bring out the details.

The handle is natural canvas micarta. It is held in place with G-flex epoxy and pins. I sculpted and shaped it to fit the hand well. It is comfortable to hold and swing.

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

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

Your blades always seem to be begging for the hand to be wrapped around them! Nice work!!
