Small as a penny.

I do not have the skills required to make this blade. Whoever did make it,
was an accomplished maker in his time. It impressed me.

The 52100 blade that I produced is 31/2 inches long.

The blade was triple quenched followed by two 2 hr tempering cycles.

The handle is birdseye maple with copper hardware.

The handle was built around the copper/fiber spacer sandwich that abuts

the shoulders. A slightly different approach to handle construction.

This is a hidden tang knife.

Thanks for L:D:Dking, Fred

sweet knife fred. i like the birdseye and copper together. i have a big copper washer about 3/8" x 2" or so that i will have to give you.
 
Your knife looks great.

I watched an expert flint knap an arrow head similar to the one in your photo. It took him less than half an hour.
 
Talent beyond compare, Mr. Fred Rowe :thumbup:

A pleasure and easy on the eye looking at your craftsmanship as always :)
