W2 Hunter with Canvas Micarta and Hamon.

[Bailey Knives]

Here is a W2 hidden tang hunter. I went for a guardless style on this, and grooved the bolster area. I really like the result. The blade is clay coated and quenched for a nice hamon. I left the forge scale on the flats, mostly because I like it.

The handle is natural canvas micarta. It is sculpted and shaped to fit nicely in the hand. When I pick this one up, I don't want to put it down. The front bolster is black linen micarta with some spacers. The middle spacer is grooved, again because I like how it looks.

The sheath is 8-9oz veggie tanned leather. It is hand stitched and tooled. It holds the knife securely and allows it to draw easily.

There is an "in the hand" shot, but here are the dimensions anyways.

Blade - 5 5/8" Tip to handle.
OAL - 11"

Price - $295 shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.

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

Your knives have a very cool style. I like the carved spacer idea too, it will add a little more grip as well.

I really like the direction your handles have gone.

I really like the direction your handles have gone.

I was thinking the same thought! If it was a little smaller and the handle was wood, I'd have jumped on it.
