I don't post in the forum very often, but I thought I might show this one here.
"Surprise!"
Blade:7" x 3/16" laminate of an old file and wrought iron with bolted tang, copper "seppa"(??), flat ground with 2000 grit hand rubbed finish and a polished heavy etch.
Handle: 4 5/8", hand carved solid moose antler with "antiqued" finish, copper and mild steel spacers and a guard of heavily etched wrought iron. The carved butt plate assembly consists of mild steel and copper spacers and a heavily etched, peened, plug of wrought iron baring my "PM" maker's mark.
Sheath: Fully lined, 172 year old Nova Scotia Black Spruce barn board with peened, and forged copper bands. The harness is Wicket & Craig 6-7 oz veg tanned leather with an antiqued moose antler bead and a forged copper maker's mark tag at the base of the belt loop. Nice snug fit.
note: after I took these initial shots, I realized I needed to shorten the moose antler bead on the sheath. So, I have added a shot at the end of the altered/ finished sheath and knife.
Thanks for looking,
Peter
Here's a few shots:
This is the sheath with the altered/shortened bead. My camera battery expired at this point.
