Title: Brute de Forge From File
Post by: 4est Trekker 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 :)

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.
