W2 Hunter with Jigged Bone, Hamon and Leather

[Bailey Knives]

I forged this from W2 steel. The blade has been clay coated for a nice hamon and it polished to 2000 grit to bring it out. Forge scale has been left on the flats.

The handle is jigged bone. I jig it myself and treat it to age it. It is held in place with G-flex and pins. It feels good in the hand and the jigging adds to the grip.

The sheath is 8-9oz hand tooled leather. The knife holds securely and draws easily.

Dimensions
Blade - 3 5/8" tip to handle
OAL - 7 3/4"

Price - $245 shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.







There is a piece of fuzz on the blade. Sorry about that.







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

Man, I have to say, your bone handles are some of the only ones I've ever liked and your knives are consistantly some of the best looking pieces in the market. This one is no exception. When the custom I have on order is done I will be looking for one of yours.
