Small Gents Bowie from Potomac Forge (Sheath photo added)
« on: July 27, 2012, 08:09:00 PM »
Just finished this knife, I'm keeping it I think!  

Forged 1084 clay quenched and etched. 4" blade, 8 1/8" OAL. File worked mild steel guard.  Two tone stained curly maple coffin handle with silver wire and domed silver pin in the shield, and scallop work. Tung oil finish. I will make a fancy pouch sheath for it soon.  The background is a Possible's Bag a friend of mine made for me that I will use this season.

Visit here often but don't usually comment. Had to this time. That's just incredible.

Beautiful work!  The scallop work on the pommel is very nice.

Just finished the sheath, first time making this style.  Basswood lined, 8-9 oz leather with some tooling with a stained whitetail antler shield.

Well, it was supposed to be a right side carry!  Best made plans.....  Turned out to be a lefty!
