Hi
It was my little bones (legs), deer, so I made a saex.
It forged from a single piece of iron, virtually from the beginning to the end only with a hammer.
Rasp I used only to offset the handle, to establish lining of the bone.
The circles on the plates made ​​with an iron stylus, rivets are copper.
Overall length 39.5 cm, 27.5 cm blade.
The blade at the widest point is 44 mm.
I put the original picture from a museum in Leiden.
For those interested in price of 79 USD.
Ibor.

Lovely work Ibor,
Just a little bit too late a period knife for me, otherwise I'd buy that in an instant.

Impressive!
You are not asking near enough for such work...
