Two more to show.
First up, 1095 blade 7" long with a curly maple handle, 13" overall.... and a composite blade with a 1095 edge, 1084/15n20 twist, and wrought iron spine, 8" blade, brushed bog oak handle, 14" overall.
Decided to go with 2 different patterns, both based on originals with ample amounts of speculation to boot.... bronze plate, brass rings, copper rivets. If anyone knows where to find phosphor bronze rings or rivets, let me know...
