Walnut Bowie/Hunter with Hamon
« on: February 20, 2012, 03:31:00 PM »
Here's one hot off the press. My first integral guard, first hamon, and first tapered tang. The blade has been polished to 600 grit, then lightly buffed on a cotton wheel. Scales are also taken to 600 grit with a tung oil finish.

Specs:
OAL: 9 1/4"
Blade length: 4 1/2"
Handle length: 4 1/2"
-1/4" 1084FG, Flat ground with a hamon
-Highly figured American Walnut scales
-3/16" Stainless pin
-Tapered tang

Thanks for looking!

Brandon
