Forged blade
This is what happens when I’m left a home unsupervised. Started this blade yesterday. 1/2 of a farriers rasp. Lots of pounding that thick stuff. Elk antler handle. Crude but intended for the Blackpowder crowd.

Re: Forged blade
Awesome knife! What's the black powder crowd? I have a few black powder revolvers, that's why I ask. 
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Oh it folks like me that gather and camp like it’s 1840. Having black powder shooting match’s, tossing tomahawks and knives, primitive archery and a social gathering which can include adult beverages on occasion.1967redrider wrote: ↑Mon Jun 16, 2025 1:41 pm Awesome knife!

It is. A lot of folks go into great lengths to dress in period clothes and the rendezvous camp can look like it’s 1840. Like a lot of hobbies, some great people the quickly become friends.

Re: Forged blade
Looks like a very rustic looking piece, which I assume is the look you were going for. NICE!

Re: Forged blade
Having been there and done that with the black powder crowd, it will fit in perfectly. Looks great. What have you got in mind for a sheath?

Thanks. Yes certainly going for the rustic look like something a blacksmith would have turned out 100+ years ago.

Something with a single slot, with tacks and fringes?
