Potomac Forge Bowie
« on: December 15, 2015, 09:54:00 PM »
My last Bowie of the year.  Made for a co worker, Unfortunately it will probably ever be used as a working blade, it's ready if it does go to work. Edge hardened and drawn back with Oxy/ace torch. 10 1/4" blade of 5160, 15 1/2" OAL stained curly maple with silver wire inlay. Tung oil finished, mild steel fluted guard, billet alum. spacer and tooled veg. tanned leather sheath with frog.

Merry Christmas!

Great knife and sheath combo. Looks like a great piece of curly maple as well.
