Crown Stag Bowie

[Camerer]

Here is one I just finished up.  It is the first of a pair.  I will be finishing the little brother tomorrow.  The knife is forged from 1080 steel.  I etched the blade to show the quench line.  It is hard to see but there are what looks like floating islands down the length of the blade.  I thought is was a cool effect.  the blade is 9 3/4" long .  The overall lengh of the knife is 16".  The balance point is righ at the back of the guard.  The guard and fittings are damascus steel.  The stag crown was supplied by the customer.

 

 

If you look just up from the edge you can see the floating islands.
