Gary Mulkey 1,346 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 For a change I made this one in more of a modern style. The blade is half random/half ladder with an ironwood handle. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Wimmer 472 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Very nice. I like what I can tell of the handle ergonomics. It seems like a natural evolution of that Bowie style. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Garry Keown 943 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Like that more than the 'traditional' style. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
JASON VOLKERT 70 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I really like the curves of that pommel and the Damascus is stunning!!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Charles dP 475 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Nice Gary. Those photos make me want to hold it and examine it closer. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Morley 5 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) Nice. I've just started on my first Bowie and may have to steal borrow elements of that handle design. I'm assuming the pip on the butt of the handle is the end on the tang? Edited January 5, 2019 by Mick Morley 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The pommel nut screws onto the end of the tang. Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Morley 5 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Thanks Gary. I figured as much but wanted to check. I don't think I have enough material for a full tang but I think I prefer your hidden tang design. That handle aesthetic is pretty special. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewB 151 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 That's a nice knife. I'd love to have a bowie actually. I'd like to make my own but I dunno how hard it would be to heat treat lol. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
