I am an amateur bladesmith with over 30 years of knife making experience. I only have one more of my knives after this knife for sale. I apprecieate all of those who have purchased my knives during the last few weeks and all the fine compliments you have past back to me after you received your knife. Like the others, this knife is hand forged from 1/8" 1095 high carbon steel. The full tang blade extends 6 1/4 inches past the handle. As you can see the forging marks are intentionally left in the blade. After the forge work, the cutting bevel of the blade is shaped by hand filing using a technique called draw filing. This blade has a lot of character. Very rustic. If you notice along the the edge of the blade you can see a wavey patern. This is from the forging process. I and several other students of primitive frontier made knives feel that this would be corect for some freshly made knives during the 1700's. It will eventually be sharpened out. After forging I stamp the blade with my mark, the letter "Y" breaking through an arrow. And then expertly heat treated and tempered by me using modern heat treating ovens.When ever I make a knife I always start with the handles and then forge the blade to accent the natural beauty of the handle material I have available. These handle slabs are of Rocky Mountain Elk and held securely in place
