Brute de Forge From File
« on: February 04, 2012, 05:58:55 pm »
Here's a new one forged from an old worn-out Made-In-the-U.S.A. Nicholson file.  It's got a 4" blade and is 7.75" in total length.  I fashioned a wet-molded side draw sheath for it.  It was etched in vinegar.  Thanks for looking :)

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Sweet looking knife...My wife's uncle makes those by the barrel load for trade at mountain man rendezvous'. He hardens the twisted guard to use as a flint striker...Pretty cool stuff.
