Harry's first forged knife

[first twin]

Ok, John, Don and Carl, here it is. This is the knife Harry forged the Friday before the Georgia Guild meeting. It has a 3.5 inch blade of 1095, that has been differentially heat treated, and etched. The handle is from a white tail deer that did not give it up willingly. It will be used on his possibles bag for his flintlock, so he made a powder measure out of the butt of the handle. It throws about 80 grains of FFg black powder. The guard is made of pewter which was neither easy nor fun, even though Carl made it look that way. Harry still has to sharpen it and make a sheath. I hope that y'all like it. Now maybe He can start grinding again.
