A French styled common belt knife with a 6" distal tapered blade of 01 steel. Brass front plate, and steel butt cap. A though tang design with the tang peened over the cap. Grip is of turned boxwood with an oil type finish. Sheath is another vinegaroon stained center seam type with the cuir bouilli hardening treatment. Hope you enjoy a look.
