Here's one I just finished right in time for hunting season. :) This has a very slight and subtle upsweep to the point, I guess making it a trailing point of sorts. This one is slim in hand but quite stout in the blade. It would take a beating. It has a fine razor sharp cutting edge.

Specs:
Hand forged from 1095 steel, differentially hardened with time and temp control of my salts.
8 1/4" overall, 3 3/4" blade, .220" at the ricasso with a full radical distal taper ending in a very nice point
800 grit bright hand satin finish
Bronze collar, carved and textured
African Blackwood handle, contoured w/palm swell and carved/textured
Textured bronze finial
Heavily Rounded spine and ricasso edge for comfort
Rounded filed thumb grip

Includes the Claude Scott leather sheath in the photos. Sheath is lined and custom made to fit this knife.

Price is SOLD shipped to the US. International buyers welcome but must pay additional shipping. Paypal, check or money order accepted. Funds must clear prior to shipping.

That stippled collar and grip is understated old world elegance. I love it!
 
That is a great looking total package. I really like the way you rounded the spine. Great Job! :thumbup::thumbup:
 
Hi John - is the collar a single piece of bronze, or is it a ferrule with a ring which is then soldered/brazed to a flat piece which then fits over the handle? In either case, it looks absolutely killer!
 
Thanks for the good words guys! :)

Hi George, the collar is a single solid piece of bronze. It is line cut and stippled in the center band. Thanks for the comment.
