A Custom Frontier Bowie Knife

The Bowie knife below was custom ordered and has the look and feel

of a bowie knife from the 1800's 

The blade on the knife is about 7 inches with patina and some

pattern aging.  The width is just under 2" and the forward

clip has been tapered.

The steel guard was forged, aged and hand fitted to the tang 

and meets up with an antiqued bone handle that has 5 steel

pins.

The sheath was antiqued and hand stitched.

Thank you

The blade on this Bowie is about 8 inches long with a nickel silver
guard and pins.  The handle is antiqued bone that has been hand

The sheath was hand stitched and made to be worn on the belt, all the
carving and tooling was done by hand.

The Vintage Bowie Knife and some Leather Work

The Bowie knife posted below was a recent custom order that left my
shop, and the blade measured out at about 8 inches long with a slow
tapered forward swedge/clip.

The tang was hidden and runs through the entire length of the
aged black walnut handle and was preened over a solid steel
but cap.  The hatching on the handle was done by hand as well.

The guard is of steel as well and was forged and hand fitted.

The sheath was hand stitched and antiqued.

New Leather work was added to the "Available Leather Pieces Page"
All of my leather tooling and hand carved line work is done
one at a time and by hand.
Here is a close up of the current available piece.

Thank you
