Forged 1084 and Axis Bowie
« on: May 30, 2013, 11:22:00 PM »


5.25" blade, 10.5" overall, for a large handed lefty. Mild steel fittings are rust blued with copper accents. The tang is threaded, there are hidden guide pins and the pommel nut is a 5/16" copper corbie. The customer provided an Axis antler shed that I had dyed.

That's awesome.  The color on the axis is beautiful and the blued and copper fittings go great together.
