Ancient Knife

[JeffG]

I thought I would try to "create" a knife with ancient looks.  The blade is ground from A-2 carbon steel, hardened and tempered, saber ground.  I distressed it with a ball peen hammer, and colored it with the torch.  The handle is a leg bone from a wild boar, dyed with two different colored leather dyes.  The guard is leather lace,  After assembling it,  painted on 2 ton epoxy to the handle and guard for durability, steel wooled it, and finished with linseed oil.  Not sure about a sheath yet.  Thanks for looking, JeffG

Beautiful lines on that knife, Jeff.  Graceful.  Now just go out and shoot a medium sized wooly mammoth and let us know how it works.
