Frontier Long Knife

[ML Knives]

I havent posted here in awhile so here is one completed for an order. Early style piece that will make a nice camp knife as well...Blade is about 10 3/8" long and handle about 4 7/8" long..handle material is smoothed down elk bone, antiqued and carved/ hatched..with a custom high ride sheath with line work...
thanks for looking...

Nice work! Looks handy, but not overly heavy or a burden to carry.

Looks great to me, I'm getting into making period knives for my in-laws.

That has the look of a frontier/trade knife. You did a great job.

Nice work. I especially like the carving on the handle.

how did I miss this one? Looks great.
Here's the obligatory question; about how thick is the steel?

 

[ML Knives]

Thanks xaman and Lorien:
The steel is 3/16" thick at the thickest point behind handle..and tapers forward.
