I forged this from Aldo's W2 and clay coated it for a hamon. The tang is also slightly tapered as a result of the forging.

The handle is desert ironwood. It is held in place with G-flex epoxy and peened pins. I have had to remove a set of scales that were fastened with peened pins, and it took a lot of work with a hammer and chisel. The handle is also sculpted for a nice comfortable grip.

The sheath is my PFB design. I made it to clip in the right hand pocket. It is hand tooled leather from Wickett and Craig and is also lined with upholstery leather. The knife slides in nice and snugly.

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

Price - $235 shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.
The first to post here "I'll take it!" gets it.











 
That is really nice. Not in a position to get one right now but this is a great knife and Ill be a grateful customer soon enough :)
 
I will take it if still available.

This is a fantastic looking little knife, as so many of yours are. I have been holding out for a slightly larger version of your knife, but this is 1/2" larger than they one I currently have and will give me a reason to add yet another of yours to my collection. I must admit there is something to your knifes that makes me enjoy just looking at it, carrying it or showing it off to others as much as some of my $1000+ pieces, just a simple raw emotion provoking piece. Keep up the great work.
 
Millers, it is yours. Thanks for the kind words. I am glad you like the other one. I hope this one is as good.
Thanks again.
Matt
