Crown Stag & W2 Southern Bowie
« on: May 08, 2013, 09:03:00 AM »
A few pics of a big 12" bladed "Southern" Bowie finished up yesturday.  Forged from W2 round bar, differentially h/t using clay, very visible but simple hamon.  Overall length is 18", with a real nice Crown sambar stag handle that had no brow tine.  This is the only Crown ive come across that didnt have a brow tine.  

Any how, time to get a sheath made and find this one a new home... it is fun to handle though... a Bowie this size makes any grown man smile like a school kid.

thanks Joe,  I just got lucky finding this one, as its the only Crown ive ever found that was shaped right and DIDNT have a brow tine.  Worked out just right.

Very nice Matt. I have to say I have never seen a stag crown handle I liked, until now. You already mentioned the reason for my taste on the crown, cut off tines just dont appeal to me. Thanks for sharing.

That is a really, really cool crown Matt!
Those don't come along every day.
And the knife is exquisite as always.

thanks all,  yes that Crown took some looking for. I looked through several hundred tapers/carvers to find about 20 good ones, and got lucky finding this Crown.
