Fired up the forge today. Started 10 1/2 inch knife from 5160 carbon steel, ground and fitted to bear tibia bone. Next to quench & temper then glued & pinned blade to bone. Finally poured pewter bolster and tea stain/antique bone & blade finish....

Looks like it would fit the hand well, making a good using blade.

Well done Jeff, I like the looks of that one. Makes me wish I would have saved some bones from my bear

I like that. It looks like it's right out of the time period.
