Title: Cowboy Bowie
Post by: LRB on June 27, 2015, 04:32:03 PM
Fresh off the bench. A medium sized basic Bowie knife with a 7" x 1 1/4" x 3/16" blade of 01 tool steel, a through tang peened over a 3/16" thick nickel silver butt cap, 1/8" thick nickel silver guard, and a very nice Sambar elk antler grip. This piece of Sambar elk had barely a hint of pith, if any real pith at all. Very solid and white to the core. I was extremely pleased to find such a nice piece. Hope you enjoy a look.

That is really an impressive knife.  The lines are very smooth and crisp.
WOW!

Nice, clean knife. Will you make an aged belt sheath for it, or more modern style?

Love that outstanding piece of stag. That's the kind of knife a man would have if he only had one knife.................  I'm trying to think of someone that only has one knife.  :laffing
