Title: A farrier rasp Bowie knife
Post by: Sam Harper on October 03, 2022, 11:25:58 PM
Last year, there was a YouTube competition where a bunch of YouTubers made Bowie's. I didn't participate in the competition, but after watching all the videos, it inspired me to try to make one. I had only made one before. The design of this one was sorta kinda inspired by Kyle Royer (the way I made the handle anyway). The handle is a take-down construction.

It's a Bellota rasp, mild steel fittings cold blued, and mesquite handle.

At some point, I'm going to make another one. It was definitely one of the more difficult knives I've made. I haven't made a sheath for this one yet.
