Dutch Styled Trade Knife

[LRB]

A medium sized belt knife with an 18th c. Dutch/Flemish flavor. 5 1/2" sheepsfoot blade of 01 steel with a through tang peened over a steel butt cap. The grip is stained Boxwood, turned and chip carved. The sheath is vinegaroon stained 6/7 oz. vege-tanned leather sewn with linen thread, and cuir bouilli treated to harden it. Hope you enjoy a look.

Wick, as usual I love your work! Those handles you have put on a couple recently with the scallops really puts a new spin on things!

Just enough embellishment to make it stand out if it were jewel encrusted! :shocked2:

In other words I really like how the handle compliments the knife! :grin:

That is another outstanding knife! Thanks for the pics.

Just "Wow!" the leatherwork is pretty spectacular too.

Great work Wick. I used to mold the toughest, thickest John Bianch pistol holsters to the shape of a specific gun using this method used on your sheath.
