Vest Bowie
« on: February 21, 2016, 05:46:00 PM »
Here's one I didn't get around to showing before heading out to AR last Fri. It's got to a new home in TX now but I think the Damascus blade was 6"ish, Dam guard, 416 spacer, ss pins thru the mortised Ironwood handle with a little sculpting on the radiused butt.

Wow, looks great all the way around. The ironwood really compliments the knife well. You do some amazing work!

That's a nice little knife, Doug. Wish I would have coonfingered it...kinda hard to see everything at a show though.

Really nice looking, Doug. And great job on the fluting on the butt. John does those really well and clearly, so do you  :) . Thanks for posting the pics.
