PC/HC English Trade Scalper Knife
« on: February 11, 2011, 06:19:29 PM »
Just finished this one. A PC version of the classic English scalper knife. 7 1/8" blade of 01 steel, tapered in both directions. Blade and tang. A Boxwood handle secured with iron rivet pins. The handle is oversized as were the originals, having a slight overlapped gap on the under side, and extending into the blade area a tad bit. This is the typical English trade scalper of the 18th c., but with a superior steel, and an epoxy sealed tang to prevent water intrusion. The sheath is a center seam up the backside, of 6/7 oz vege-tan tooling leather, stained black with the vinegar/iron natural stain. I am beginning to love this stuff. It does not rub off onto your clothing. Hope you enjoy a look. I am well pleased as to how it all came out. I plan to do the French type also, when I get some time. Thankyou for any comments, or critiques.

Mario, Not the red handle but something like this? This is my favorite print of Davids.

Darn nice, Wick! I would like to see something on the making of your sheaths sometime. That fine point does not look easy to achieve... but then I have never tried a center seam sheath, either.
