David Roeder Period Knife

[Thomason]

My newest by David Roeder. A little over 8 inches overall, forged 5160 with an acid etch to help the "period" knife look, a dab of file work on the spine, brass pins and copper bolsters, dovetailed elk antler handle. Don't know how much It weighs but it has a pretty good heft to it. No sheath but I had one laying around that fits it fine.

Nice looking knife.

I've had a chance to talk with him, at the local shows in Puyallup, he makes some nice sword canes and hiking staffs.

 

[Keith Montgomery]

I like it, but is there are reason that the three brass pins on the bolster don't line up?

There may be Keith, but only David knows what that reason might be
