A really little Bowie

[Bladepeek]

I was going through some old pictures (back in my 35mm days) and found these. I made this little Bowie with an elephant ivory handle, random damascus blade and blued hardware for a miniature collector in MD. The pictures are poor quality, but I no longer have the knife so I can't take better pics. That Bowie, MD address in the picture is about 16 - 17 years old now. Just brought back some fond memories

Actually Dana, I did.

I thought after posting that this doesn't really fit Terry's guidelines for hunting knife posts, but then I guess it depends on what you're hunting. This is my bumblebee filet bowie. That is not a black spacer in the handle, but a black streak in the English walnut. Fully hardened and sharpened, but a bit hard to hang onto when your hands get bloody

Ron, those are something special!  The first Bowie is outstanding, thanks for shareing.

Forged or stock removal?     Those are awesome.  I like the first one a lot.

That's the largest paper clip I ever saw!! Oh,,wait a minute!! Now I see what's going on!!

Thanks Matt. Actually the guard and tang of the first one were forged and I think the paperclip in the second picture probably

That's a really nice looking little knife. Good job.
