Small Bowie
« on: September 06, 2010, 10:30:00 PM »
Just finished this one up. Sculpted bocote and walnut handle with a forged, flat ground 1084 blade. The blade has a 400 grit hand rubbed finish and the handle is taken to 800 grit. 7 3/4" OAL. It has a slight hamon that you can just barely see in person. Just thought Id share it with yall.

Looks very nice, kid. After this deer season I hope to get into making some blades.

Hope you have a great season

Nice looking knife.  I really like the handle shape.  Looks very comfortable.
