Just finished this one. A historically correct type French scalping knife traded to the NA's and others wanting a cheap and simple knife. 7" blade of 01 tool steel. Correct type oversized grip of Boxwood, with under tang gap filled with cutlers resin mixed with a brick dust filler. No epoxy used. Grip is riveted to the tang with iron pins. Sheath is a center seam up the back. Hope you enjoy a look.

Wick, as usual the simple elegance of your reproduction pieces and sheaths showcase your talents. What most folks nowadays forget is that these types of pieces go back to the heart and expansion of America. I always feel if I am looking at a real piece of history when I look at one of your knives!:thumbup::thumbup:
