Early style Belt Knife with Aged bone.

This weeks post is a custom order belt or long knife

with a blade that is over 9 inches long.

The spine is 3/16" thick and the handle is aged bone

with steel pins.

The sheath was hand stitched and made to wear high

on the belt and cross drawn.

Knives similar to this not to long ago in American history

were worn on many belt, or tucked behind a sash

and i am sure swung through a sheath on many a saddle

horn. 

A piece like this can be used hard in the woods or 

around camp but still provide a fine cutting tool 

in the kitchen.

Last trip into the foothills of the woods, I took some decent
photos.  Some were of a hawk.  Hope you enjoy them.

Thank you
