I should be putting this together soon - Antler handle, flint blade fixed with hide glue and bound with sinew, sealed with a pine resin mix - housed in a beaver tail sheath.
that was the aim
only hte crown is sloped the wrong way but i couldn't find one like that think it was artistic licence on the small wood printI was interested in teh strange ( to me ) design so wanted as accurate a copy as i could to try it and understand how it worked before i changed anything
here is the wood print from the book i took into CAD to get the shape
now its spawned a range in 4 sizes
for my modern version

Looking forward to see the finished knife Patrick, I have been admiring the stuff you make on your stand at wilderness gathering for years now. Hopefully you will add this knife to your display
A few more then......

Just got this one, its lovely!
Thats well nice mate, beautiful piece of antler on the handle, nice clean lines,

Came this morning. This is going to last me quite some time...
It needs a good honing, but considering Trevors workload I'm not surprised!

Thats a beaut mrcairney. I love mine. They do come blunt but sharpen really easily and are just....a classic
I did see you have one too. I must admit I got a misty eyed when I got mine. Knowing that Trevor still makes them in his workshop kinda makes you proud.
