My Frontier Fighter

[Bill Siegle]

Well lately I have been getting into black powder shooting. Figured I should have a primitive style blade to go with the rifle, so I came up with this one. It is sort of a wide Scottish dirk in blade style. I even added some very simple filework. The mill scale was left on so the texture and dark shade remains. The slabs are made from some pakawood I have in the shop and are contoured nicely to fit my paw. Overall it is 14 5/8 with an 8 3/4 blade. All I have left to do is get some leather next week for a sheath.

Don't forget the coon skin cap.

Definatly looks the part, good and simple and looks like it could take on a grizz.

Bill, good lookin' knife! It looks like you could really carve out the west with that one, and then carve up a big bear for supper with it.

Nice Bill!!! Looks like a great mate to a BP rifle...

Don't forget the period sheath to go with that bad boy. What a knife! It's good to see a full-sized handle, too. Makes me think of Jerimiah Johnson all over again...
