Bowie knives are a special knife if you ask me, Just some kind of
special goodness when you hold a blade like this. I would list
a bowie amongst my favorite's to make as far as large knives go.
This being said I also love forging and making the large butcher
or camp knife. If you have read my book you know how I feel about
an old school butcher knife. This post originally wasn't meant to be
a list of knives I enjoy making because I could list a bunch here.
So let me go on to this bowie.
This bowie knife has a blade just about 9 inches long, and has a nice
patina on it. The spine has been file worked and the width on this
is about 1 3/4" after the guard give or take.
The handle is aged crown elk stag and is well over 5 inches long with
2 old school style steel penned pins. The guard is forged and is thick and
stout at about 3/16"
The sheath was hand stitched and antiqued and all the tooling vine work
was done free hand.
Thank you
