Hello dear brothers,
With God's good will today i finished another knife (i was a little slow lately due to too many 'non work' tasks
); i must confess that i adore how this blade turned out, the feel of the leather is fantastic and the look turned out to be more impressive than i anticipated 
The blade is made using O2 core San Mai steel that was forged for a nice pattern and etched; it features a razor sharp scandi zero grind.
We have the handle made using vegetable tanned thick ox leather that was epoxy bonded, black dyed and CA saturated. After polishing, the black pigment remained only in the 'flesh' of each piece of leather and that resulted in a cool look. The bolster is made out using 2 thin pieces of nickel silver between which black v fiber was placed - it is buffed to a mirror finish and goes well with the nicely buffed handle. The pommel is made again using nickel silver that was hand carved and polished for a nice look.
Overall the knife measures app 7.5" with an app 3.35" blade.
The price for this knife is 230 usd.
All the best friends, God bless,
Bogdan
