Latest Bowie

I just finished this one this morning. The blade is 10-1/2 inches of my damascus, the fittings are stainless and the wood is African Blackwood.

That's fantastic Lin, and timely too, I just forged a small sub hilt blank.  

Thanks for posting your work here for us to enjoy.

I showed that knife to my pig, and even he was impressed -- and pretty scared too!

Seriously, that is spectacular knife. As Crocodile Dundee said, "Now THAT'S a knife!"

I can hear a little piggy screaming, "Wee, wee, wee, all the way home!"  That's an incredibly beautiful piece!      :clapper:

That is another stunningly excellent sub-hilt.  You are a true Mastersmith that has mastered this style (along with others).
