Well, a productive weekend. Took some hours away from horn work and fired up the forges. Decided to produce a French type A Boucheron profile off original dimensions and an English type L scalper from original dimensions as well. Both blades were handforged from old files of excellent steel. Normalized, heat treated and tempered producing two wicked sharp blades.
Handles are both boxwood and dyed. Blades are secured with iron pins and cuttler resin. For a weekends work the results are well worthwhile.
Dimensions:
Boucheron, type A, 6 3/4"× 1 1/8" with a tang just shy under 2" and 5/8" wide with a taper, 10 3/4" total.
English type L scalper, 7" x 1 3/8" with a tang just shy of 2" and 3/4" at it's widest point, 11 3/8 total.
