5 inch, hand forged 5160 blade. Coppered 1018 guard and collar. Stabilized oak with rawhide wrap.

This is a recent period piece that I finished up just today. A lot of this was experimentation because I've never coppered a blade before, nor have I ever used rawhide to wrap a handle like this. Making this to fit a time period of the fur trade and Indian era had its bit of fun and moments of head scratching. Anyhow, as long as I don't get some stupid reply by the perspective recipient of this, this will be heading back to my hometown in Florida at the end of the week.

This gentleman always has wanted an Indian era nice from me, so probably now maybe 15 years later, here it is :-).

Just for clarification, this was not a knife order :-) lol. This was a special request an old family friend who really likes the mountain man era type stuff.
