I forged this knife out for a knife show earlier this month. I was a little surprised I brought it home with me, because it was one of my favorite knives on the table.
The blade is forged from Aldo's W2 and has been clay coated for the quench for a nice hamon.

The handle is african blackwood. It has been sculpted and really fits in the hand comfortably. It is held in place with peened pins and G-flex epoxy.

The sheath is 8-9oz hand tooled leather. The leather is from Wickett and Craig, because I like their quality. The knife slides in easily and holds snugly.

Dimensions
Blade - 8 3/8" tip to handle
OAL - 13 7/8"

Price - $325 shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.

The first to post here "I'll take it!" gets it.











 
I haven't seen one of your knives that I haven't liked but that one really caught my eye. Beautiful work.
 
Matt this one is a beauty, love the black wood. Hope bringing it home does not stop you from making more similar ones. Pretty sure they will sell here. I know one more would for sure.
