I really like the sheath you found for your H10. May I ask, where did you find it? Your new H10 is a good looking knife.

Here is my one and only H10.

Hooo boy I love that marrow/soup bone!

The sheath is a diy based off some of the basic old ones I’ve had on similar vintage “huntsman” knives.

Wacky Grackle Bazaar carbon. Maybe German, maybe American. They had just transitioned.

Anyway, it's 3 & 3/8 inches from the shoulders to the end of the tang, so I was thinking I'd have to do some fancy drilling to attach a long enough handle.
But I'll just find a nut for it and inlet it into a two piece handle, inspired by Bernard S. Mason's hook tang.

I spent a lot of time looking at that page, as a boy Jer! I got as far as hacksawing a file in half, but didn't have any tools beyond that!

I like his test for a woods knife: will it slice bacon?

Me too, it is a great test. When I was reviewing knives here, it was one of my tests, though some readers misunderstood, and thought I was talking about CUTTING bacon!

Completely forgot I'd ordered this '19th Century Sheffield Trade Knife' from Tod Cutler! Big old thing with a 7 1/2", and thicker stock than I'd have imagined (5mm) bladePaid the extra £15 for a sharp blade - I wish Tod would find someone who knows how to sharpen a knife! I need to stop buying so many FBs!

Perfect candidate for a stacked leather handle

Awesome work. That sheath makes for a sneaky, out of sight carry

Oh man I haven't seen one of these without a metal pommel. Man it looks KILLER!

Jack, your new FB looks very much like what I've read the original Bowie knife as used in the Sandbar Fight probably looked like, although with possibly a longer blade than yours. Very nice!
