W1 Clayed and Clipped Bowie
« on: July 18, 2008, 01:06:00 PM »
One for the Fox River Knife Rendezvous this weekend:
A "short" 10 inch W1 clipped blade that was clay processed during heat treating. The blade was forged from a 1 1/8" round bar of W1.
Take-down design includes African Blackwood full grip handle and hot-blued mild steel fittings.
It's a handful at 15 1/2".
Hope you enjoy my efforts.

I got asked for a detailed photo of the assembly pieces, so here ya' go!
Screw and wrench are hot blued mild steel, and the pins are hot  blued and hardened O1 dowel pins.
