Large Camp Bowie
« on: August 21, 2011, 12:06:00 PM »
Hello everyone,

I build this knife as part of a trade for a Hay-Budden 167 pound anvil (built in 1923).  This is a big knife for a big man (6'-4" 280 lbs.) that likes big toys.  His daily driver is an F250 Disesl with a 12" lift and 44" tire.

The knife was made from a 1-1/2 diameter by 4-1/2" long 52100 bearing roller, that was forged down into bar stock.  After forging the blade was finished via stock removal.

Specs:
Flat ground 52100 blade heat treated to a RC60
15-3/4" overall lenght
10-1/2" Guard to tip with a 10" cutting edge
0.200" Thick at the ricasso
1-7/8" at the widest point
416 Stainless guard, ferrule, and 3/16" pin with black paper micarta spacers
Stabilized Maple burl
8oz Hand tooled and dyed sheath

 

 

 

Thanks for looking,

James

Looks great. She is very nicely put together. I would be very happy with it or the anvil. Got any pics of the Hay-Budden?
