figured I should do something a little earlier in style  compared to my usual bowies  toothpicks and skinners ! knife is 12 inchs over all  blade is 7 1/4 inchs  long and just under 3/4 inch wide at its widest point !very sharp would look good on the belt of a long hunter ! or other early american frontiersman !

Nice! 

I just picked up a couple of "Old Hickory" kitchen knives and am going to rehandle them with antler handles when I have some time.  I promis to try and remember to get pictures.

antler looks good on them  so does a decent grade of curly maple ! not sure what this knife was originally no markings , but the handle was long gone and that patina is the real thing ! blade is probably older than me !  nice to give it a second life as a useable knife !

I like it, but am disturbed a bit by the shape of the handle. Hanshi said he lost something of his years ago, maybe you found them for hum.
I am the one your mom warned you about!
