A really little Bowie
« on: November 06, 2013, 03:20:00 PM »
I was going through some old pictures (back in my 35mm days) and found these. I made this little Bowie with an elephant ivory handle, random damascus blade and blued hardware for a miniature collector in MD. The pictures are poor quality, but I no longer have the knife so I can't take better pics. That Bowie, MD address in the picture is about 16 - 17 years old now. Just brought back some fond memories   :)

Actually Dana, I did.

I thought after posting that this doesn't really fit Terry's guidelines for hunting knife posts, but then I guess it depends on what you're hunting. This is my bumblebee filet bowie. That is not a black spacer in the handle, but a black streak in the English walnut. Fully hardened and sharpened, but a bit hard to hang onto when your hands get bloody   :)

Forged or stock removal?   :laughing:   Those are awesome.  I like the first one a lot.

Thanks Matt. Actually the guard and tang of the first one were forged and I think the paperclip in the second picture probably    :)
