Hi Guys, Please see Bobs knife on our site HERE. Thanks! Here is the info below:




Tracker's Forge Late 1700's Folding Pouch Knife
Hello my name is Robert Alderman, I am the 4th generation of blacksmiths in my family, and I learned my knife-making skills from Steve Mullins, a well known knife-maker.
Many of my blades are seen in many major motion pictures a few notable movies such as Dances with Wolves and Far and Away.
I am most well known for my reproductions and knives based on the technology and art of the mountain man period, pre 1840. I have an extensive knowledge of the patterns and constructions methods of the period. Further, I can make a knife or razor look as though it had been made many years ago. This knife here has been hand forged and created from 1095 high carbon.
This knife features:
- Elk Antler Tip (Eyeguard)
- Multiple touch marks
- Backspring Made from Sawblade
- Bronze Liners
- Silver Diamond + Acorn Etching Plate
- Lift Ring and Bail are forged from Steel
- Brass Mainspring Sadle with Acorn Finals
- Brass Diamond Pivot Pin Washer
- Dimensions:
- 5 1/2" Horn Handle (minus bail)
- 1 1/4" Wide Blade
- 3 1/2" Blade Length
- 1 1/2" Wide Blade
- 8 3/4" Overall Length (minus bail)
