Decided to finally get started making so I went with the hunting knife given to Little Red Riding Hood, by her mother, belonging to her father. I searched for images of old hunting knives and these are just a few examples of what I found but they were all fairly similar. I wanted to make something slightly over sized as it's her fathers knife and I want it to look plain and practical like it's been well used and capable of cutting off a wolf's paw. Also with it being a large knife I want it to visually show how young and otherwise presumably vulnerable Little Red would be if her mother hadn't taken precautions against the known danger lurking on the journey.
I'm taking the shape of the blade in the first image as it's the most common shape in all of the images I've seen and I'm going to enlarge it so it looks slightly too big for my model to go with the over sized jacket etc. I'll attach it to a belt using the method I've seen in my previous research with metal loops and chain or some other material like leather.
