Simon Says "Do This"

[user 48679]

When I was proof-reading a few issues of Guns of the Old West, I ran across a copy of Doc Holliday's knife, and decided to make one as close to the pattern as I could.

So I bought a close copy of the pattern & some scale blanks

I got going on the scales......

And after applying some elbow grease, ended up with this:

IDK whether to use it as a patch knife, or a boot knife........ whatcha think ?

 

[FishDFly]

Boot knife.

 

[windini]

whatcha think ?

I think it looks great! Take it out of your boot to cut your patches - best of both worlds.

I was a rebellious child and stopped doing what Simon said in the 1st grade. That's a nice knife, a very close copy. I was always impressed with that outfit and would have had one if I had the money. "Simon says" sure brings back memories.

Up close and personal as a patch knife or boot knife?

after it came out of his boot someone would need lots of patches. heard he pinned a guy's hand to the poker table with a knife.

Check your state laws about concealed blade length and legality of 2-edged blades. That would be a no-no here in NY

Nice work on the coffin handle.

Like a push dagger....used for one thing - stabbing ... and if yer really good --- slicing...... yep our State reps like laws that protect us from ourselves...thom

Great job ! It is similar to one I carried for many years. It was made by A.G.Russell, and called the ‘Sting’ I think.
You have a beautiful knife !

Or as a letter opener............

I’m assuming boot knives require a sheath sewn to the inside of the boot or a sheath on the blade itself, actually I haven’t worn a pair of boot that would conceal a knife since the Fry square toe boots with the leather straps across the instep and around the back of the heel were in fashion. Forget the name of them now.

 

[flashpoint]

Beautiful piece of art.

Whughett…Harness boots.

My boot knife had a heavy, thick leather sheath with a metal clip. You could fasten it to your belt or on the top of your boot. I used a piece of boot lace as extra security when carried in the boot. It never fell out of the boot with the simple lace added.
