    Default tapered 6/8 modeled after the 1800's :)

    I've been working on this one when I've had time.
    It's modeled after a 1790's-1800 Shepherd stub tail I have.
    I kept the blade shape basically the same but altered the heal and extended the tail, to make it a bit easier honing/holding.
    I honed it up and gave it test last night. All in all it went very well.
    It's O1 steel, blade tapers from 6/8 to 9/16. Scales are horn with bone g10 wedge and stacked washers.
