I just finished this one. I make these on occassion for those ladies wanting to portray the 18th c. upper class. 3 1/2" blade of 01 with climbing vine file work down the spine, elephant ivory grip, and sterling silver mounts and trim. The sheath is brass with matching trim. Hope you enjoy a look.

Very nice! The sheath should be silver plated to match, though.
 
Dang, Wick!! Thats pretty fancy even by your standards! Very nice work, sir!:thumbup:
 
Very Nice LRB !! :thumbup: :thumbup:

I really like the little crown at the face of the handle.

Nice work !!



:cool:
 
Wick, your work as always is awesome. I love the climbing vine work. The sheath is fantastic. Your work is probably one of the main reasons I got into the knife game to begin with, so I am always intrigued by your new pieces and fascinated with your knowledge of the 1800’s style knives! :thumbup: :thumbup:
 
That is a really nice knife. Even my wife who was standing right behind me said she really liked it. I actually like the brass sheath with the silver fittings. I find that the yellowish brass compliments the yellowish ivory handle. Nice work.
