Amber Stag Bowie
« on: January 22, 2010, 08:33:00 AM »
This a medium sized Bowie that I finished lately. The blade I forged from 5160 bar stock and is 7 1/2 inches. The handle is a nice Stag taper that I had dyed by Culpepper Co. The rest is stainless steel. The photo is two views of the same knife. Photo by Chuck Ward. Thanks, Lin

WOW!....what a beauty...

tremendous craftsmanship as always, Lin.

Anyone would be proud to own that one.

Super knife there Lin.  I didn't think your stuff could get any better, but somehow, it does.

It's a lucky customer that will end up with that beauty, Lin.
When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.
