neil gagnon Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Here is a bowie i made for a friend of mine that got me into bladesmithing. It features a 12 inch blade made from extra improved plow steel cable. All the fittings are made of brass. The handle is white tail deer antler. The sheath has a poplar wood core with ray skin, suede leather, and black bear claws with teeth. also i made a simple display stand out of ash and more white tail antler. http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p272/gagnonn/101_0960.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p272/gagnonn/101_0963.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p272/gagnonn/101_0964.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p272/gagnonn/101_0962.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p272/gagnonn/101_0961.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p272/gagnonn/101_0966.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p272/gagnonn/101_0965.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p272/gagnonn/101_0967.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p272/gagnonn/101_0968.jpg "One who is samurai must before all things" Keep constantly in mind, by day and by night. the fact that he has to die... -Dai Doji Yuzon- 16th Century http://sites.google.com/site/canadianliveblade/home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Salvati Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Damn Neil that patter is out of this world./ Well done! Let not the swords of good and free men be reforged into plowshares, but may they rest in a place of honor; ready, well oiled and God willing unused. For if the price of peace becomes licking the boots of tyrants, then "To Arms!" I say, and may the fortunes of war smile upon patriots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
