Bag or belt knife




5" blade forged from an old file, stamped with my mark and patina added. The deer antler handle has a nice "nurly" surface giving it great grip. At the back of the handle is a ball starter. Handle has a pewter bolster and a single steel pin. Sheath is vegetable tanned cow hide dyed dark and sewn with linen thread. Overall length is 10 3/8".

Two knives I just finished to be shipped to Belgium. Sheaths are in the works. Both blades where forged from old files and are 9" overall with a 4 3/4" cutting edge. The upper knife has scrimshawed cow horn slab handle and the lower is curly ash(scraps from a rifle that is coming to shape)
