I finished two Fighters/Bowies recently

1)
Steel: W2 with hamon
Over all length: 14.75"
Blade Length: ~9.25"
Blade thickness: ~1/4" at the ricasso

Guard: 416 stainless with scalloping
Handle: polished g10,
sharp clip
Sash Carry sheath hand tooled and stitched by me.

This hamon is more traditionally placed, closer to the 1/3:2/3 rule and goes down towards the tip and back up the clip, with a hard clip.









2)
1095 machine satin finish: 13.25" overal Length, 8" blade, ~ 1/4" thick at the ricasso.
Blade is differentially hardened and the hamon can be see in the right light
416 stainless steel guard with scallops
Black polished g10
Hand tooled and stitched sash style carry sheath, made by me
