Title: Potomac Forge Mountain Man Scalpel- Sheath Photo
Post by: Steve Nuckels on February 26, 2014, 07:32:00 PM
Here is my latest project, I forged this small blade from an antique spring harrow tine.  It is a intergal design leaving a little rust texture/forge scale at the Osage orange ferrule and a scrimshawed and stained antler tip.  2 7/8" blade 7 1/2" OAL.

Steve, now that's just plain cute. The scrimshaw really gives it a period flavor.

That's awesome.  It would make a great carving knife.  Or maybe a good skinner for a fur trapper.

Great knife, I can see some mountain man lancing an abscessed tooth with that............in his own mouth!    :scared:    
Definitely looks like it belongs in some tough, bearded dude's possibles bag     :thumbsup:

Nice work
I like thinking outside the box.  
  ;)    
I see myself ,cleaning my fingernails and my wife taking it away from me to open the mail.
My Grandson taking it from her and thinking he has the greatest knife in the world   :thumbsup:

I finished the sheath for this project and added a little more scrimshaw.  The sheath is deer rawhide with a brass cone and horse hair. Brass spots and bone beads. The concho is a slice of stained and polished deer antler.
