PC Type French Boucheron Trade Knife

[LRB]

Just finished this one. A historically correct type French scalping knife traded to the NA's and others wanting a cheap and simple knife. 7" blade of 01 tool steel. Correct type oversized grip of Boxwood, with under tang gap filled with cutlers resin mixed with a brick dust filler. No epoxy used. Grip is riveted to the tang with iron pins. Sheath is a center seam up the back. Hope you enjoy a look.

Looks pretty near as nice as mine, except it's French. Show us some top view.

Wick:

have you a reliable source of real boxwood? I have some, but I use it only on PC special orders.

Do you add a stiffener to your cutler's pitch mix? I have used ashes on arrow tips, and I have heard that brick dust is a keeper as well.
