W1 Integral Hunter with Sycamore and Blackwood. Hamon and Leather

[Bailey Knives]

I forged this out of W1 roundbar. It has been clay quenched for a nice hamon. The blade has been hand polished to 1000 grit before etching. It is razor sharp. The tang is a through tang. It is nice and robust, and is stepped down at the butt end to allow for peening.

The handle is african blackwood and stabilized sycamore. It has been shaped and polished and fits well in the hand.

The sheath is 7-8oz hand tooled leather from Wickett and Craig. It holds the knife snugly and draws well.

Dimensions
Blade - 4 1/2" tip to handle
Cutting edge - 3 3/4"
OAL - 8 3/4"

Price - $sold shipped to US. I will ship internationally for an additional fee.

I will have this posted elsewhere so the first timestamp saying "I'll take it!", gets it.

Very nice. I have two of your knives made in this same style, just different sizes, and I love them. I'll probably break down and get another one in the future, so it'll be a mini-collection.
