rendevous knife
« on: September 05, 2015, 11:14:05 pm »
here's a knife I just finished up made from a file, took an old bleached out checked horn and cleaned it up dyed it with dark brown rit then buffed the crap out of it used a piece of bone for a bolster, I wanted it to have an old look for black powder events, it's 12-1/2" total length just need to make a sheath

Handle has a wonderful aged look to it. Objective achieved!
