Traditional knife for my daughter


Here's one I did for the fun of it, and gave it to my daughter. Those of you in the SCA probably will recognize it as a "meat" or "eating knife". Back then, you simply didn't cut your meat with the same knife you just stuck in a bad guy. The blade is from an old Nicholson file, and is convex ground. The stag is quite small, as you can see from the pocket scale next to it. I also inlaid a jade cabochon in the butt of the handle to cover the nut counterbore.
