W2, Micarta Recurve with Hamon

[Bailey Knives]

This is some W2, forged out and left with the forge scale on the flats. The spine has been fileworked and the blade has been clay quenched for a nice hamon. It was then hand sanded to 2000 grit and etched to bring out the details.

The handle is linen micarta, held in place with regular pins and one mosaic, along with acraglas.

The handle is 8-10oz hand tooled and stitched leather. The knife fits snugly and draws easily.

I really like the size of this knife for a lot of camp chores.

Dimensions
Blade - 5 1/4" tip to handle
OAL - 9 3/4"

Price - $275 shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.

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

Thanks, I started using Wickett and Craig leather. It is much better than the stuff I have been getting from Tandy. Don't get me wrong, Tandy has served me well for many years, but the quality of leather from Wickett and Craig seems far above that of Tandy. I really like how the tooling of this sheath stands out and it is solid as well. It should last at least as long as the knife, which is made to last several generations.
