Yard Sale Sourced Knife
« on: July 12, 2020, 02:31:12 AM »
Made this from a $.25 rusted file, $5 set of elk antlers, $1.50 pewter cup.

Cutting edge is about 12” long



When a nation forgets her skill in war, when her religion becomes a mockery, when the whole nation becomes a nation of money-grabbers, then the wild tribes, the barbarians drive in... Who will our invaders be? From whence will they come?

Wow!  I really like that.  How long is the blade and handle?
