Just finished yesterday. A plain Jane scalper style with a 8"x1 1/4"x1/8" blade of 01 steel, and a walnut grip with a deer rawhide wrap laced on with deer rawhide thong. There are two 1/8" steel cross pins through the grip and tang under the rawhide. The sheath is of vege-tan leather, welted, and sewn with linen thread having a faux field repair of dried deer hide with most of the hair shaved off, and also laced on with deer rawhide. All lightly aged to look used. Hope you enjoy a look.





 
I like that. It makes me want to wear my badger skin hat. :) Nice period style

I had a skunk skin hat in the seventies. I put red beads in the eye holes.
 
Wick, your period pieces always look to me like you just stepped back in time and brung one out with you! Fantastic work but I would expect nothing less from you! :35:
