It's been a busy couple of weeks at the forge. I thought I might share some of the progress.

The top knife is a 5 pouce boucheron with a 3-pin boxwood handle. The blade was copied from an original found at Fort Ticonderoga. It bears B. Doron's poincon (cutler mark) and features a bright finish.
The second one down is a "5+" pouce with a 2-pin box handle. The blade was copied from an original found at Fort William Henry, and it bears a fleur-de-lys poincon from an unidentified maker. The blade has been treated with vinegar to replicate natural aging.
The third down is a 7 pouce with a 3-pin ram's horn handle, B. Doron mark, and a vinegar aged finish.
Finally, the bottom knife is a 6 in. English "red-handled scalper" featuring a bloodwood handle and half-width tang with the resulting gap filled with cutler's cement, as found in mid 18th century versions.
