"Bulette" **Coop shots added**

[Matthew Gregory]

Had a lot of fun with this one, yet again using the aging process that Rick Marchand does so masterfully.

10-1/2” blade of Crucible S7 steel, and a wonderful raunchy chunk of wrought iron from a cistern somewhere in the Midwest that I bought from a buddy about ten thousand years ago, perhaps in another galaxy. The edge of the guard is lightly forged to give it a gentle dished shape. Leather over a Terotuf core handle, and resin soaked brown lace.

And yes, all three cutting edges will be razor sharp.

Overall length 16-1/8”, weighs 20 ounces.

I've heard there's good money in "ancient" artifacts !

You coulda fooled me with that beauty .

 

[Man with no name]

As the kids say these days "that's a baddie". I love the rustic look.

 

[Matthew Gregory]

Thanks for all the props, everyone. Had a lot of fun with this one. I love working with different textures and tones.

Finally got this one to SharpByCoop

A few weeks back we stopped in and visited a buddy. I arranged a leather sheath workshop for my wife, with my friend Burt Foster, who made a fresh pair of pants for this one as part of the tutorial:
