N.A. Smith Philadelphia
N.A. Smith Philadelphia. He appears to have been an importer. The blade certainly has that Sheffield look. Circa 1840 -1850. The13/16 blade tapers to 6/8 with nice ground decorative lines at the heel. A shoulderless grind with jimps on the lower tang. Scales in bone thinned to .085 with a honey horn wedge were made to replace the scales that came with the blade. The bone blanks and brass domed collars are from Austin Kennedy. The in process pictures are off the 400 grit belt and the bevel set. A forging flaw or cold shut can be seen on the back face of one of the in process pictures. A glazed finish was chosen for the blade faces to help mask this.
