I tried something new. I have seen other people achieve nice hamons without clay. I took a shot at it, and did OK, I think. It is brine quenched without clay and has a wispy hamon that extends down the center of the blade.

It is forged W2, and has a fileworked spine.

The handle is black linen Micarta, with 3 regular pins, and one mosaic.

The sheath is 8-9oz hand stitched leather. It has been tooled and dyed also.

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

Price - $sold shipped. I prefer paypal to matt(at)baileyknives.com, but will accept check or money order

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