This is a style and size of knife that probably was used more than any other type in the early 18 century frontier / settlers time frame. It is called a patch knife which was used to cut the patching flush from a round lead ball once it was loaded part way down the barrel of a muzzle loader rifle. Often carried around the neck from a leather strap.
It is also an outstanding hunting knife pattern able to be used for game processing as well as a perfect bird and trout knife.
This is my rendition of this style knife. It is made from traditional materials. Having a deer antler handle with leather spacers and a brass blade guard.
The brass end cap is a feature taken from some French patterns of that era with a small brass hand turned button stud that is used to attach the leather lanyard.
Approximately 8 7/8" long with a blade length of 4" x 7/8" deep x 3/16" thick that tapers to a fine cutting point.....Handle 4 7/8" long
The blade is acid etched to help prevent rusting and corrosion. Which gives it a dark aged appearance.
I hand forge these as always in my Vermont blacksmith shop. Made from high carbon 5160 steel. This steel is incredibly tough and takes and holds an outstanding edge.
The sheath is made from 9 oz leather that is double stitched with a full welt and copper saddle makers rivets at all critical stress points. Waterproofed, signed and dated.
Distinctive forging marks are left to show these knives are handmade and have a natural aged appearance.
All of my knives come with a lifetime warranty. If there is ever a problem I will repair or replace it for free. This does not include abuse or neglect of the knife, or other use than what it is intended for.
