Split D Guard Bowie
« on: October 01, 2018, 04:33:51 PM »
I spent the last 2 summers working on this off an on between other projects. The knife has quite a few flaws but it was a good learning  process for me. The knife is 15" overall and has a 9.5" blade. Steel is 1095 with elk antler and blood wood spacers. I think it will be awhile before I attempt another one! Todd Thayn was gracious enough to construct the sheath for me. His leather work is top notch and I was amazed at the detail he put into the sheath.

I got to handle this knife and drool over it in person. I’m here to tell you the flaws are at a minimum buddy. You did a very beautiful job.
