I think at some point in every knife makers career he/she considers making the famous "Bowie" knife, some people specialize in them.
This 7" blade is hand forged from a billet of 52100 carbon steel. The guard is also 52100, it will have Sambar Stag scales with a full tang and perhaps a butt cap. You can clearly see the hamon lines from the differential quenches. It should be finished in the next few days.
Thanks for looking, feedback encouraged.......
