18th c. English Styled Ball Grip Knife

An English styled ball grip belt or table knife with bone grip scales. 6" blade of 3/32 01 vanadium tool steel, featuring a full tapered tang and blade. This is a slightly smaller version of one I made last year. The sheath is a center seam on the back side, and stained black with vinegaroon. Hope you enjoy a look.
