				Very nice Charles.  Like I've said before, I really like your style.  Tell us a bit about it, size, components, etc.
			
			
			
				Another beauty from the imagination of Chuck, you turning out some real cool stuff there buddy.    :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:
			
			
			
				I gotta ask pal, but do you do any type of historical research before you build or do you freestyle with a good sense of the past? As always, very imaginative and beautiful.
			
			
			
				Thanks all,
 Dale 1075 and 15N20, .125" x 3 1/2" blade and about an equal length hidden tang. I cold blued it, production, USA made. Rawhide over vegtan sheath.
 Izzy, I have done some research but none of what I make is what could be considered replication. The old stuff inspires and gives me ideas.
