The distinctive knife features a whittle tang construction and a faceted hexagonal ash grip swelling at the end and is finished with a brass tang button. The bolster of the blade is sculpted with filed decoration to give a very period correct and stunning piece.
PERFECT for English Civil War and Founding Fathers reenactment.
The knife comes in a double layer vegetable tanned leather sheath with incised and stamped decoration.

Grip length 9.5cm/3.5"
Overall length 22cm/8.5"
Please note: The colours may vary in tone from the photos here. Each skin of leather is different and reacts differently to the dye so they may be darker or lighter in tone
