Poor Boy Knife
« on: February 06, 2012, 05:32:20 PM »
I was asked to make a knife to go with a New England Poorboy Smoothbore
This Is what I came up with.
6 3/8" Blade of A-2 Steel
4 1/8" Full Tang Handle
Wormy Chestnut Slabs (From a old barn in N.C.)
Iron Pins
Center Seam Sheath
All lightly aged
As always, Thanks for looking and comments welcome!

Wow!  Nice knife, I'd like to see it paired with the smoothbore and the rest of the gear.

Thank you Gents!
It is going to Roy Stroh, (Rifle builder) To go with his personal kit.
I hope to see pics also.
