Just finished this one. 8" x 1 1/4" blade of 01 steel with lightly aged finish and a through tang peened over iron butt cap. lugged iron guard and scalloped grip ferrule, curly maple grip with chip carving, finished with Fiebings leather stain and Minwax Antique Oil finish. Sheath is of 6/7oz vege-tan leather, sewn with linen thread. Iron plate with frog/hook are attached with clinched nails, and frog/hook is attached to the plate with a pin and silver braze. Cross hatching on sheath was hand incised. Hope you enjoy a look.

Nice blade,  I like the use of O-1 . I find O-1 easy  to temper than the fantasy steels i.e. A-2.

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.
