Bocote Bowie
« on: September 30, 2011, 11:48:00 PM »
Just completed this one tonight and thought I would share it.

This is my attempt at a guardless bowie, and I think it turned out pretty well.

The steel is L6 with a faux hamon, and a sculpted bocote handle. The blade is flat ground with a rounded and polished spine with an unsharpened clip point.

Thanks for looking,

Brandon

Nice - very nice.
When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.
