    Great idea, I’m working on a touch mark now. Thank you for pointing out the balance between historic and builder references, sometimes it’s tough to not improvise. What should I call a knife I’ve changed from historically correct? Thank you for taking time to share your thoughts!

    I’m sorry, I don’t understand. Do you mind explaining? I’m not sure if the knives I’m using as patterns are not “correct” or I’m just not following example close enough. Thanks in advance if your able to help

    As always I appreciate the feedback. Just to clarify… Here’s what I was using a guide for the handle. I blew up image on printer to scale pin placement moving one pin to the back as I’ve seen on similar Ken Hamilton knives. Blade is only 1/8 wide at the widest. As for aging/roughing up knife, I...
