Built a new HB Camp Knife

[Runewolf1973]

Just finished up a replica of an original Hudson Bay Camp knife for a customer. It is 1080 steel with water buffalo horn scales and large brass washers. The customer wanted to make his own sheath, otherwise I would have made the same style as was fitted with the original.

Looks like you nailed it!! What’s your blade length and thickness at the spine?

If I remember correctly, the blade was 8.5" and the spine is 3/16" tapered tang. From what I understand, the originals varied a fair amount as there was more than one company producing these.

Nice!!! Big enough but not over the top!

That has to be one of the fanciest scale attachment methods I've ever seen.

Very nice knife but too much bling on the original sheath for me. You done very well
