Hello all,
Here is another in a series of knife/sheath combinations done with period sheath-maker John Cohea. A railroad spike knife but, with a bit of a twist to the idea. I hope you like it.
Thanks again,
J.
~~~ also, I have John's "Basic Rawhide Sheath Construction" DVD available as well. Check the "knives" page on my site,

This sweeping skinner is forged from a high carbon steel Railroad Spike. The handle is twisted and acid soaked, leaving a nice forge finish to contrast the highly polished rises and spike head. The blade itself has a satin finish. The knife is 8 1/4" overall length with a 4 1/4" cutting edge. The knife comes with a Rawhide-period sheath by John Cohea with fringe, beads & cones, copper spots and a belt loop.
