New trade knife arrived today

[William]

Got this off ebay last week and it just arrived today, A Jeff White trade knife with osage orange handle.  The 1095 steel is shaving sharp and the edge is perfect, no knicks, dings or anything like that.  In fact, it looks to be a convex/cantled edge  , I am mighty impressed.  The handle is nicely rounded and smoothed it is swelled at the end making for a comfortable, secure grip.  These are great knives;


Have included pics of my other blades as well, enjoy;

Nice sticker you got youself William. What type of sheath are you planning for it?

[William]

I'm thinking that a center seam sheath would look good but haven't decided quite yet.

Nice score William. They look real nice. Whrn you get the sheath done. You'll have to post pics again...

[William]

Thanks!  I may have the sheath attached to my shooting bag, I haven't decided but I will have to have it made for me as my leather working skills are a bit lacking.  Leathermonger may get commissioned to do the sheath as he made my bag too and that way the leather will match.

A center seam would do well with the blade shape. Good choice.

I also think a center seam would be the best choice. Nice knife you got there.
