Old knife

Postby Holje » Thu Jan 22, 2015 11:34 am

Hello! :)

So, the knife was found bi my father something around 50 years ago. The knife was already in bad shape and old then . So the true age is unknown! :o It was used by my dad when he was younger. In the past few years it was just siting around. So one day after I started to do some woodworking and some tools restoration I decided to renew it.
The steel was just sharpened and sanded. The handle is made by oak. Handle seems to be little thin but it fits great to my hand.

Tell me what you think and any suggestions are welcome of course.

P.s. Didn't know where to put the post, Restoration or Knifes.

It is not middle sharpened and yes it is full tang! As I know the knife was used on a tuna boat for bloodletting as they do in hunting!
