Hi,
Just wanted some opinions from others.  Do you think this would qualify or serve as a good example for a Belduque?
This piece is large:  10 1/2 inch blade.  Blade is 2 inches wide and about 5/32 of an inch thick at the bolster. 5 1/2 inch handle.

Would appreciate some input. 

Regards,

Gray

While not exactly a belduque it is close to the various Spanish influenced styles though a bit "modernized" -
Who is the maker? Looks like one Hill Pearce's knives - Hill's work is exceptional and highly prized..........

I agree. This looks like a modern knife inspired by the belduque design and couldn't pass as a period knife. Nice knife, though.
