New Knife

I did a trade with Handforge for a period correct 1700's knife and I have to show it off. The attention to detail amazes me.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Thanks, Kevin, it goes real good with the hawk you made. The tomato bush has 4 tomatoes so far.

Thanks folks, I appreciate it. Making it was easy, making "look right" was the hard part.  Blades of that era were made in a specific way, left certain tell tale marks and a definite patina. It takes a little doing but I have held enough of those original knives in my hands to be able to replicate it fairly closely. I really like messing with the period pieces but like I told Mullet, I fuss over them too much sometimes.
