Some kind of ancient warriors belt knife, ....from whatever culture.
Blade is 205 mm long and ground from 1.2442 (115W8), bolsters made from mild steel and the scales are rams horn pinned with sterling.
Overall length measures 305 mm
so because its a warriors knife I wanted the sheath as martial as possible.
I armored buffalo raw hide with steel and riveted it togehther with copper.All steel parts are counter riveted from the inside.The two massive liners are made from a single water buffalo horn which had a natural radius that allowed following the blade shape.The throat is also reinforced with buffalo horn bands......at the end it consists of 177 worked parts .
Cheers
