Raymond Richard 51 Posted March 11 Overtime my belly has gotten bigger and my bowies have gotten smaller. There was a time when my bowie blades were as long or longer than this bowie at 13" overall. This one has a 8 1/2" 52100 blade and an ebony handle. I salvaged 1/4" steel from a salvaged car part and used that to make the S guard. The other fittings are wrought iron. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gerhard Gerber 141 Posted March 12 There's a lot to like about this knife. I like the apparent lack of bevels, it adds to the clean look. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got hit with several getting old issues. Right wrist had been a problem for years and then my right shoulder went. Got the shoulder fixed in 2016 and the right wrist fused in 2017. Things are starting to work better now plus my interest in making knives has come back. Are you still making? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doug Lester 155 Posted March 14 With that long swaged clip it almost has a Middle Eastern look. Great Job. Doug Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve O 17 Posted March 14 (edited) Top quality frontier Bowie that got jiggy with an Indo- Persian kard, and this is its pup! Very flowing and clean lines, while still screaming hand made. Looks both old and made for a very serious task. Love it. Edited March 14 by Steve O Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
