The Mallard Straight blade hunter

[Bailey Knives]

I call this one the Mallard, because it kind of looks like a mallard to me.

The steel is 1084 that has been clay quenched for a real bold hamon.
The spine is fully fileworked.

The handle is black linen micarta with a green canvas micarta bolster. (hence the mallard look) It has 3 regular pins and one mosaic.

The sheath is 7oz. veggie tanned leather.

Here are the dimensions.
Blade - 4 1/2" tip to handle
OAL - 9 1/4"

Price - $175 shipped to CONUS. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order also.

The first "I'll take it!" gets it.

Another nice one. You are on a roll. I'm liking the photo sets as well, very cool.

A quick tip about the photos. Remember the knife is the focus and should fill the frame. Don't be afraid to cut off some or most of the other objects in the photo, they're just props. That said, your photography has improved tremendously from your originals.:thumbup:

bcol773, it is yours. Thanks
Ted, you have been infinately helpful in taking the pictures. It seems a small investment in some basic equipment and a little time, and the photos greatly improve. I will try to keep the background stuff as background. Thanks for all the help.
