Title: New Knife
Post by: mullet on May 08, 2020, 09:38:19 am

I did a trade with Handforge for a period correct 1700's knife and I have to show it off. The attention to detail amazes me.

Thanks, Kevin, it goes real good with the hawk you made. The tomato bush has 4 tomatoes so far.

Thanks folks, I appreciate it. Making it was easy, making "look right" was the hard part.  Blades of that era were made in a specific way, left certain tell tale marks and a definite patina. It takes a little doing but I have held enough of those original knives in my hands to be able to replicate it fairly closely. I really like messing with the period pieces but like I told Mullet, I fuss over them too much sometimes.
