« on: January 30, 2013, 02:03:35 AM »
My version of a primitive Bowie style knife.
10 1/8" X 2" Blade of 0-1 steel
4 5/8" Antler handle
Iron S-guard
Through tang, peened over iron cap.
All very lightly aged
Sheath of 6/7oz veg tan leather, rawhide wrap with brass deer hair cones.
Thanks for looking...James

Really nice work.
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.
