spsurfer 891 Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Hello, about a year ago, I made this big blade, later, the future owner canceled the order and I left the blade in my workshop, waiting for a nice guard and handle. Now I started again with this hunting cutlass.... 26,5cm blade 47mm wide from 6mm 1.2842, guard from iron, handle from ebony, between the iron ferrules that will be blued, I put a slim brass liner for contrast, so the handle will be pitch black with just a golden line.

Thanks, no, this one is 1.2842 carbon steel and the guard is iron. I make some smaller knives from Boehler 690co but these big ones I think will be safer in carbon tool steel.
