"Inglorious Bastard"

A large utility/fighter made from a Nicholson "Bastard" cut file, from the good old days when they made them in the USA.


The Hamon is not by any design, it occurred during heat treat. Adding some beauty to the used rough looking basterd file.

This design was inspired by a World War I book that is part fiction part fact? When the "Bayonet" was as important as your "Rifle", part of the daily weapons maintence was putting a keen edge on.

I thought of calling it the "DoughBoy Delight"?

Inglorious "Bastard"
Approx.14" OAL 5 1/4" handle 8" blade with false edge
Textured GCM handle with multiple lanyard holes
Hand rubbed 800 grit acid etched
Not decided on the sheath, I may send out for leather.

Thanks
