The "Deer Guide" Bowie
« on: January 17, 2013, 05:45:00 PM »
I am finally able to come up for air for a few weeks.
This one goes out and then I can focus on the Arkansas Show a bit.
One for a nice fella designed like one on my web site called The Deer Guide.
A short 10" W2 blade with African Blackwood and fixed up with some wrought iron take-down fittings.
I hope it gets to clear some brush in the deer woods!

 

 

 

 

 
This one is a bit misleading. I truly do dislike when the finger radius of the handle material and guard are both shaped as one, and just create a 1/2 circle affair.
I think that's sort of a short cut, and I avoid that almost completely.
I like my handle material to be flat where it makes the junction with the guard.
This one is just like that.
It just doesn't appear that way in the photo.
Alas.

 Karl your pics are to wide please resize and post again thanks.

That will be a very useful knife for the bigger chores, besides just looking fantastic.

That is an awesome piece of art, Karl! Looks like it'll do whatever you ask it to, then want seconds. Nicely done, sir!  :notworthy:
