Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades First Bowie.............

Thank you TNrifleman!




Here she is.........all dressed up and no where to go. It was a fun build, and I learned a lot. I really like the knife. It's just what I envisioned from the start.

The knife ended up at 11.25" overall with a 6 3/8" blade. It has a full distal taper, the spine is slightly relieved or rounded, convex ground, with a full tang handle and presentation grade Sambar Stag scales. The slight recurve was intentional, and I just love the look. The guard I left with an oil quench finish which resembles case hardening. It balances just behind the guard on the index finger. The sheath will be finished tomorrow. Notice on the right side of the blade, the overlapping or crossing quench lines..........to freakin' cool!

Thanks for all of the feedback, guys. I appreciate your time.
