What would you do with this knife, a thread for green river knife blades.

I decided to add a chisel ground swedge as was once common, and Russel used to do at one time.

Nice looking project. Nice work on both knife and sheath.

Both knife and sheath look fantastic to me; great work!!
Do you have some kind of liner inside the sheath? (I know nothing about sheaths for fixed blade knives.)

Thanks
Theres no liner in the sheath just a welt.
In case you don't know a welt is a strip of leather sanwitched between the front and back leather which keeps the blade from cutting through the stitching or lacing...ect.

Thank you, that really means something coming from a fine craftsman like you.

I like that a lot. Looks like a great user.

Nice job of prototyping and problem solving, too.

I know you're not doing this for dollars, but did you keep track of time on the final iteration?

Here are a few that I’ve done. Don’t know how authentic they would be to the fur trade era, but I like them. Top is a broken Ontario Butcher: the second down is a Utica Butcher that I re-ground; the third down is one I made from a buck saw blade and walnut with 16 penny nails as pins; the bottom is a Green River blade with ebony macassar. It’s a fun hobby that I only have a few dollars in. They make good kitchen and camp knives which I don’t mind throwing in the dirt.
