Big Clip point Bowie (my style!)
« on: August 01, 2008, 06:02:00 AM »
Fancied making something BIG again!  :D

4mm 01 blade with a convex sabre grind, unsharpened top swedge. Polished to 600grit
Blade length 9-1/2" OAL is 14-5/8"

Handle material is African Blackwood with 12 (yes, 12!) 4mm brass pins & an 5/16" lanyard tube.

The knife feels really nice in the hand & is quicker to maneuver than I imagined it would be. I reckon it may make a half-decent comp cutter or even an 'Extreme Utility' type thing  ;)  (We're not allowed to say 'Fighter' in England!)

It was fun to build & I'm looking forward to trying it out on some milk bottles & hemp rope!

 
 
 
 
 

Once again, the leather work is to follow shortly. I think this one may end up with a snakeskin inlay again. We'll see.

Very nice. Excellent blade design. Needs a scabbard.
