Here's a little guy I made as an experiment.. and have had the blade kicking around for a while

The blade is a composite of a wrought and 1080 twist, middle layer of wrought iron, and an edge bar of 5160 which matched surprisingly well with the 1080 post etch.
Handle is black walnut I stained and finished some various ways to make it old and dark looking, with a bolster of textured and heavily etched wrought.. and a white spacer in between the two.

Over all length is 8-9", spine thickness is around 3/32", and handle length is between 3.5" and 4"

Sheath is leather stained my favorite mix of mahogany and black, then sealed and stamped with my logo.


If you have any questions feel free to ask

OHHH, and the fit is good, that little black hole looking thing in the picture of the bolster blade junction is just a part of the texturing :P

set asking price

Sold

I can get a close up of the wrought in the pattern welding if anyone needs it, the grain makes the low layer twists really interesting
Blam!

Kenon,
that is really a nice piece, with good traditional grounding. I hope someone gives you what that is really worth. Good craftsmanship.
